The cast and executive producer gave reporters a sneaky glimpse into what fans can expect from the fifth season of the show due to air this autumn on ITV. Spoiler alert: Lady Edith can expect even more misery.

Laura Carmichael, who plays Edith, noted that things weren’t looking up for her character this season, while Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary, told reporters, “Mary’s mean to Edith especially this season,” adding, “Mary doesn’t know Edith has a daughter. So Edith certainly won’t get any sympathy from her unknowing sister.”

Poor Edith. (Independent)
