Okay, if you're obsessed with period dramas that are all about the GLAM and the GOSSIP, this is your next binge. We're talking old money versus new money drama, with Carrie Coon's Bertha Russell as the ultimate social climber you can't help but root for. Get ready for incredible fashion, lavish New York City backdrops, and enough societal tension to keep you hooked.
Set in 1882 New York City, The Gilded Age follows young Marian Brook as she moves from rural Pennsylvania to live with her rigidly traditional aunts. She quickly becomes entangled in the high-society world of her new-money neighbors, the ambitious Russell family. Alongside her clever companion Peggy Scott, Marian navigates the intricate social rules and dazzling opulence of the era. The series explores the dramatic clash between old wealth and new fortunes, as well as the societal expectations placed on women trying to carve their own paths.
