Downton Abbey may have ended its 4th Season in the UK, but the Crawley family will have to face one minor scandal before the year is over. Downton will be back with a Christmas Special that is set in the summer and not the winter as it was originally perceived. Shirley MacLaine will be back to reprise her role as Cora's mother straight from New York. Matha Levinson will not come alone and will bring company along in the form of a playboy son of hers, Harold. The part will be played by Paul Giamatti, who will also guest-star during this highly-anticipated episode. It was also previously reported that the special will feature Lady Rose in the debutante ball taking place at Buckingham Palace, which in reality is Lancaster House.
