“The Gilded Age” premieres on HBO Max on Monday, Jan. 24.
The series, according to HBO, is an American period-piece taking place in 1882 with young Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) who moves 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). As Marian navigates the new city, she is reminded by those around her that “for a New Yorker, anything is possible.”
The series was created by Julian Fellowes who created “Downton Abbey.” Both series have to do with the drama within old society. “The Gilded Age” stars Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Denée Benton, Louisa Jacobson, Taissa Farmiga, Blake Ritson, Simon Jones, Harry Richardson, Thomas Cocquerel, Jack Gilpin, along with Nixon and Baranski.
