The hit TV series Downton Abbey will be returning in November with an all-new season 4 episode, as the British-American drama is now just two installments shy of its annual Christmas Special.

Judging by its description, the seventh installment looks as though it will be featuring the long-awaited arrival of actor Paul Giamatti as Harold, Cora's playboy brother.

iTV put out the following isynopsis for the upcoming Downton episode:

"Cora's playboy brother Harold is in a fix and Robert must travel to America to help bail him out, whilst a new farming venture at Downton sees Blake and Mary forced to put aside their differences ... When Violet is taken ill she finds help comes from an unlikely corner ... With romantic tensions causing disharmony downstairs, things don't quite go to plan when Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Patmore and Carson conspire to keep the pace."

In terms of Maggie Smith (Violet) becoming sick, many fans have began to wonder whether she will be exiting the show. However, creator Julian Fellowes had indicated that no major deaths are set to take place this season, according to Carter Matt.

Downton Abbey will be airing its seventh episode on Sunday, Nov. 3 in the U.K. For more of the latest info on the popular TV series, be sure to keep checking back with Enstars. A video trailer for season 4 can be watched below.
