‘The Gilded Age’: Full Trailer New Drama From Downton Abbey’s Julian Fellowes, Premiering January On Sky

by Dave Elliott

Sky has released the full trailer for the highly anticipated HBO co-production The Gilded Age, from the creator of ‘Downton Abbey’, which premieres January 2022 on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost. Against the backdrop of this transformation, the story begins in 1882 with young Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) moving from rural Pennsylvania to New York City after the death of her father to live with her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon).

Accompanied by Peggy Scott (Denée Benton), an aspiring writer seeking a fresh start, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbours, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George (Morgan Spector) and Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon). Exposed to a world on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?

The series reunites writer/creator Julian Fellowes, executive producer Gareth Neame and director Michael Engler, the creative team behind both the award-winning ‘Downton Abbey’ series and feature film.

The stellar ensemble cast includes Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Denée Benton, Louisa Jacobson, Taissa Farmiga, Blake Ritson, Simon Jones, Harry Richardson, Thomas Cocquerel, Jack Gilpin, with Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski. First look images have also been revealed.

The 9-part series is a co-production between HBO and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Creator/writer/executive producer, Julian Fellowes; executive producer, Gareth Neame; director/executive producer, Michael Engler; executive producer, David Crockett; director/executive producer Salli Richardson-Whitfield; Writer/Co-Executive Producer Sonja Warfield.

The Gilded Age‘ premieres Monday, 25 January 2022 on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW in the UK. The drama premieres Sunday, January 24, 2022, on HBO in the USA and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
