From Oscar® and Emmy® winner Julian Fellowes comes a sprawling period drama set during New York City’s glittering Gilded Age (1865-1914), a time of immense economic change, conflict between the old ways and brand-new systems, and fortunes amassed and lost in the blink of an eye. The Gilded Age follows Marian Brook, a young woman who moves from rural Pennsylvania to New York after the death of her father to live with her “old money” aunts, Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an aspiring writer seeking a fresh start, Marian quickly becomes entangled in the social war between her aunts and their stupendously rich neighbors, George and Bertha Russell. Exposed to a world on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
