To the creator of “ Downton Abbey ”, Julian Fellowes , loves series era, that is why, in his new fiction “ The Gilded Age ”- next 25 January HBO Max – puts the focus again on a historical event, specifically on the period that includes The American Civil War and the early twentieth century.

Accompanied by Peggy Scott ( Denée Benton ), an aspiring writer looking for a new beginning, Marian is unexpectedly embroiled in a social war between one of her aunts, daughter of old wealth, and her wildly wealthy neighbors, a ruthless railroad magnate and his ambitious wife, George ( Morgan Spector ) and Bertha Russell ( Carrie Coon ).
