Gearing up for another record-breaking season for the network, ITV released a trailer for "Downton Abbey" this weekend.

Though the UK gets the jump on it this fall, PBS will air season four in the United States beginning on January 5th, 2014.

The highest-rated drama in network history, "Downtown Abbey" will run for eight weeks, until February 23rd, 2014.

Check out the trailer below, in which Maggie Smith's character Violet Crawley tells Lady Mary (who lost her husband in a car accident at the end of last season), "You have a straightforward choice. You must choose either death or life."
