HBO's new period drama 'The Gilded Age' is set to premiere on January 24, 2022, and is already generating buzz among fans of historical series like 'Downton Abbey.' The show, created by Julian Fellowes, who also created 'Downton Abbey,' explores the lives of wealthy families in New York City during the Gilded Age of the late 19th century.
The series features a star-studded cast including Carrie Coon, Cynthia Nixon, and Christine Baranski. It follows the clash between old money and new money as characters navigate social hierarchies and personal ambitions in a rapidly changing America.
Critics have praised the show's lavish costumes and sets, which aim to capture the opulence of the era. The premiere episode airs on HBO at 9 p.m. ET, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly.
