‘The Gilded Age’ Season 2 Gets October UK Premiere Date On Sky Atlantic
Julian Fellowes’ “other” historical drama (after ‘Downton Abbey’), ‘The Gilded Age‘, returns for a 2nd Season this October on Sky Atlantic in the UK, and on HBO in the USA.
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.
Season two of ‘The Gilded Age’ begins on Easter morning 1883, with the news that Bertha Russell’s bid for a box at the Academy of Music has been rejected. Through the eight episodes of the season, we watch as Bertha challenges Mrs. Astor and the old system and works to not only gain a foothold in Society, but to potentially take a leading role in it. George Russell takes on his own battle with a growing union at his steel plant in Pittsburgh.
In the Brook House, Marian continues her journey to find her way in the world secretly teaching at a girls school while, much to everyone’s surprise, Ada begins a new courtship. Of course, Agnes approves of none of it. In Brooklyn, the Scott family begins to heal from a shocking discovery, and Peggy taps into her activist spirit through her work with T. Thomas Fortune at the NY Globe.
The extensive cast for the drama includes Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton, Ben Ahlers, Michael Cerveris, Kelley Curran, Taissa Farmiga, Jack Gilpin, Simon Jones, Sullivan Jones, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Debra Monk, Donna Murphy, Kristine Nielsen, Kelli O’Hara, Patrick Page, Harry Richardson, Taylor Richardson, Blake Ritson, Douglas Sills, Erin Wilhelmi, Nathan Lane, Audra McDonald, John Douglas Thompson, Ashlie Atkinson, Laura Benanti, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Christopher Denham, David Furr, Ward Horton, Matilda Lawler and Robert Sean Leonard.
The series comes from Creator/writer/executive producer, Julian Fellowes. It is executive produced by Gareth Neame, David Crockett, Bob Greenblatt and Salli Richardson-Whitfield. Michael Engler is director/executive producer, and Sonja Warfield serves as writer/executive producer. ‘The Gilded Age’ is a co-production between HBO and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
