The HBO period piece drama The Gilded Age will debut at 9 PM on January 24.
The series begins in 1882 with young Marian Brook (Louisa 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 (Christina Baranski) and Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon).
Accompanied by Peggy Scott (Denee 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 (Morgan Spector) and Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon).
The ensemble cast includes Audra McDonald, Donna Murphy, Nathan Lane, Taissa Farmiga, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Debra Monk, Bill Irwin, Amy Forsyth, Katie Finneran and Blake Ritson.
