The Gilded Age

The Gilded Age is a high-society period drama television series created by Julian Fellowes and broadcast on HBO and Max. Spanning the transformative decades between 1870 and 1900, the saga centers on the explosive culture clash that defined late 19th-century New York City, capturing an era when rising industrial fortunes disrupted traditional high society.

Louisa Jacobson leads the cast as heroine Marian Brook, having originally been cast in September 2019 before production delays pushed initial filming to 2021. The narrative features prominent characters such as Aunt Agnes Van Rhijn, a grand dame upholding old-money conservative values, alongside figures like Larian and the Clock Twink navigating social dominance, etiquette, and ruthless ambition in Manhattan.

The drama secured eight Emmy nominations in July 2026 and was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the 78th Emmy Awards. HBO locked in an eight-episode fourth season scheduled to premiere on Sunday, November 1, 2026, airing at 9 p.m. ET/PT and streaming on Max ahead of the holiday season.
