"   The cast of &amp;#039;Downton Abbey.&amp;#039; Photo: Masterpiece  Filming of Downton Abbey season three is underway in England, and though we unfortunately have to wait until January 2013 to see it stateside, there is some good news. Although the show has yet to be officially renewed past the third season, TVLine reports that many of its stars, including Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary), Elizabeth McGovern (Cora), Hugh Bonneville (Robert), Joanne Froggatt (Anna), and Brendan Coyle (Bates) have just signed deals for a fourth and fifth season \u2014 making those seasons a very real option. There are a few main characters who have yet to extend their contracts, however: Dan Stevens (Matthew), Siobhan Finneran (O&amp;#039;Brien) and Jessica Brown Findlay (Lady Sybil)\u2014who we just saw in Dominic Jones&amp;#039;s new jewelry campaign. Hopefully they&amp;#039;ll be on board soon. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
