There’s very little left until The Gilded Age season 2 hits our screens! HBO wanted to celebrate the imminent premiere by releasing the key art for this new season and it’s fantastic! Ready?
Here we go!
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost.
Against the backdrop of this transformation, HBO’s The Gilded Age begins in 1882 with young Marian Brook (Jacobson) moving from rural Pennsylvania to New York City after the death of her father to live with her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn (Baranski) and Ada Brook (Nixon).
Accompanied by Peggy Scott (Benton), an aspiring writer seeking a fresh start, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George (Spector) and Bertha Russell (Coon).
Exposed to a world on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path? There’s little left to find out!
The Gilded Age returns with new episodes Sunday, October 29 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
