About ‘The Gilded Age’
The American Gilded Age, where technological innovation and opulent wealth thrived during the late 1800s, and the United States was full of change, promise, as well as stubbornness to stick to the old ways. Viewers will witness new money, like the Russell family, leave its mark on American society in this new show, yet recognizable story, “The Gilded Age.”
Created and co-written with Sonja Warfield, Fellowes takes this American time period and embeds his cast of Gilded Agestars with rich history of old-money, hostility, new fortune, and wide-eyed ambition.
Set in 1882, the show takes place in New York City, featuring a young Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) who moves to the Empire State from rural Pennsylvania after the death of her father. She moves in with her two aunts Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and “the spinster” Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon).
An aspiring writer, Peggy Scott (Denée Benton), travels alongside Marian as they both seek a fresh start. Instead, however, they find themselves in the middle of a social war between their new money neighbors, railroad tycoon George (Morgan Spector), and his wife Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon). Living in a world on the brink of the modern age, it’s up to Marian to paint a fresh path for herself, rather than follow the established, yet outdated rules of society.
The nine-episode series is directed by Michael Engler and Salli Richardson-Whitfield and executive produced by Fellowes, Warfield, Engler, Richardson-Whitfield, Gareth Neame, and David Crockett. Other series stars include Nathan Lane, Audra McDonald, Debra Monk, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Taissa Farmiga, Blake Ritson, Simon Jones, Harry Richardson, Thomas Cocquerel, Jack Gilpin, among many others.
The Gilded Age
It’s 1882 and the Gilded Age is in full swing when Marian Brook, a young orphaned daughter of a Southern general, moves in with her rigidly conventional aunts in New York City. With the help of Peggy Scott, an African-American woman masquerading as her maid, Marian gets caught up in the dazzling lives of her rich neighbors as she struggles to decide between adhering to the rules or forging her own path.
