The Russells have now risen to the top of New York’s high society, but the finale left many cliffhangers to explore in the second season. It is unclear if Marian will pursue a new romance or continue to focus on her social standing, and Peggy’s search for her adopted son will also be a major plot point. The writer Julian Fellowes has also hinted that the plot may not be what fans expect and that it may include some heartbreak and tragedy.
