SOUND OFF WORLD PREMIERE EXCLUSIVE: Two Images From THE CHRONICLES OF DOWNTON ABBEY

Just in time for the Season Three premiere of the international primetime period soap sensation DOWNTON ABBEY on PBS stations across the US starting this Sunday, January 6, BroadwayWorld is pleased to present two exclusive images from the spectacular, fact-filled THE CHRONICLES OF DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA by Jessica Fellowes, niece of the show's creator Julian Fellowes (who provides the foreward) and a formidable journalist in her own right, who penned the illuminating tome along with Matthew Sturgis.

Also, be sure to stay tuned to BroadwayWorld for my extensive InDepth InterView with Jessica Fellowes all about the book and Season Three of the show later this weekend!

More information on THE CHRONICLES OF DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA is available at the official site here.

So, now, scroll down for two exclusive images from THE CHRONICLES OF DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA!

In the first shot, Dame Maggie Smith elegantly essays the role of dowager countess Lady Grantham while casting a curious glance astride. What, pray tell is on her mind?

Next, current Broadway lead in THE HEIRESS, Dan Stevens, simply smolders as Downton heir Matthew Crawley - a particularly pivotal character to Season Three, especially, as we will all soon come to find out as the newest season begins to air on these shores...

Enjoy!
