Season three, press notes state, takes place after the Opera War,
with the old guard weakened and the Russells poised to take their place
at the head of society. Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would
elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George (Spector) risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize
the railroad industry鈥攊f it doesn鈥檛 ruin him first. Across the street,
the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes (Baranski) refuses to accept Ada鈥檚 (Nixon) new position as lady
of the house. Meanwhile, Peggy (Benton) meets a handsome doctor
from Newport whose family is less than enthusiastic about her career.
Created, written, and executive-produced by Fellowes, the creative and producing team also includes writer and executive producer Sonja Warfield, executive producer Gareth Neame, executive producer David Crockett, director and executive producer Michael Engler, director and executive producer Salli Richardson-Whitfield, executive producer Bob Greenblatt, and historical consultant and co-executive producer Erica Dunbar.
