The ‘Victoria’ Season 3 Trailer Depicts a Country in Crisis

PBS Masterpiece has released its first full trailer for highly anticipated third season of period drama Victoria.

This latest preview gives us a bit more context for the new season than the first teaser clip released back in October.

Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes are back as Victoria and Albert, obviously; complete with a growing brood of (suddenly older) children.

It introduces Harlots actress Kate Fleetwood as Victoria’s half-sister Feodora, who makes a sudden – and perhaps quite dramatic – reappearance in the queen’s life this year.  As someone who’s been married off to a penniless German prince it’s certainly possible that she might experience some jealousy over the fact that her elder sister is living it up as Queen of England.

Plus, we get our first look at Inspector Lewis star Laurence Fox as the flamboyant and often quite belligerent Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston.

Watch for yourselves below.
