Only recently regaining the use of his legs, and still mourning the death of Lady Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay), Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) died in a freak automobile accident during the Season 2 Christmas Special.

Six months after her hubby's abrupt death, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) will clearly be looking to put the shattered pieces of her life back together. While it has been said that the widowed mother will take it slow, she'll indeed be back on the dating scene once again.

Actor Tom Cullen was recently attached to the upcoming installment to donn the role of Lord Gillingham could be the new man. However, Julian Ovenden is also a potential flame for Mary as well. He'll come on board to play Charles Blake.

According to Metro, Lady Mary will clearly have her work cut out for her when it comes to caring for her newborn child, which could hinder any initial progress in future relationships.

Downton Abbey is slated to kick off in the U.S. on Jan. 5, 2014, and run until February 23, 2014. Be sure to keep checking back for more of the latest details on the British-American period piece.
