'Downton Abbey' Season 4 Trailer: Life After Death For Mary (VIDEO)

'Downton Abbey' Season 4 Trailer Will Get You Ready To Weep

"Downton Abbey" is back for Season 4 this January on PBS, and even though several characters have died throughout the show's run, it seems the drama is still alive and well in this short trailer for the upcoming season.

After [SPOILER ALERT] Matthew's death in last year's Christmas episode, a dark cloud has hung over Downton. But this season is picking up six months after the tragedy and the lives of the Crawleys and their downstairs servants must continue.

Check out the trailer above to hold you over until the premiere as part of Masterpiece on PBS on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 9 p.m. EST.
