It’s a battle of new versus old in the latest trailer for The Gilded Age, Julian Fellowes’ historical drama coming to HBO and HBO Max next year. Check out Carrie Coon and Morgan Spencer as Bertha and George Russell, new to NYC and ready to take their place in society as power players—as they contend with longstanding residents like Agnes van Rhijn, played by Christine Baranski—in the trailer above.
The cast also features theatre alums like Cynthia Nixon (as Agnes’ less affluent sister, Ada Brook), Audra McDonald, Denée Benton, Katie Finneran, Kristine Nielsen, Claybourne Elder, Bill Irwin, Michael Cerveris, and Simon Jones, all of whom are seen in the sneak peek.
