Perfect for Downton Abbey loyalists craving American opulence, sharp social maneuvering, and costume design that demands attention.
Series Analysis:
Julian Fellowes transports his signature brand of domestic warfare to 1880s New York, where the battlefields are ballrooms and the weapons are invitations. The Gilded Age chronicles the delicious friction between the established van Rhijn clan and the ascendant, railroad-rich Russell family. It is a spectacle of velvet gloves hiding iron fists: immense wealth clashing with rigid tradition across Fifth Avenue. As the narrative settles following the conclusion of season 3 on August 10, 2025, the lines between old money and new have never been more blurred—or more contested. With the social hierarchy in flux, sign up for a reminder to witness the next chapter of this lavish American duel.
