When Downton Abbey returns the widowed Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) and the widowered Branson (Allen Leech) will be raising their children on their own. Their significant others, Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) and Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay), respectively, met untimely ends last season that had less to do with intended character arcs, and everything to do with the actors looking to branch out from the British Masterpiece Theatre series.

Though Downton Abbey will not be returning a couple of its stars, its welcoming a number of new characters, including Daisy Lewis as baby Sybil’s nanny, Gary Carr as jazz crooner Jack Ross, Lily James as Lady Rose, Tom Cullen, Nigel Harman, Dame Harriet Walter and others. Most notably, however, is Paul Giamatti’s involvement in the series as Cora’s (Elizabeth McGovern) brother Harold Levinson.
