The new trailer for “Downton Abbey” season five — or series five, as they say across the pond; is here. New episodes of the beloved Brit series premiere September 21 in the UK. American audiences will see it January 4. I am on pins and needles and waiting for what seems like forever for my fave guilty pleasure to come back to us!
