Downton Abbey Series 3 Begins Filming
One of Craig Ferguson‘s favorite television shows at the moment is ITV’s Downton Abbey. The period costume drama with a modern storytelling style begins filming for its third season on Monday, with the new series due to air in the fall of 2012 in the UK and in the winter of 2013 in the US on PBS.
The series has already landed a number of awards including Best Drama at Britain’s National Television Awards just over a fortnight ago. Among the show’s other honors are six Emmy Awards, a Producers Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award. Up next in May are the 2012 BAFTA Television Awards, where the show is expected to do well. It is considered one of the most critically acclaimed shows on television and the biggest hit drama series in a decade, seen on television screens in more than a hundred countries.
