Carrie Coon Says HBO’s The Gilded Age Will Be Edgier Than Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey struck a very special cord, amassing quite the fanbase in the process. With that in mind, there are some mighty high expectations for Fellowes’ upcoming series for HBO, The Gilded Age.
As the title suggests, the show is set in the United States in the late 19th Century when the country was in the midst of a period of major economic growth, but also severe loss. The show features quite the ensemble including Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Morgan Spector, Taissa Farmiga and a recent guest of Collider Ladies Night, Carrie Coon. Coon is set to play Bertha Russell, a middle-class woman who is “determined to use her money and position to break into a society that resists change at every turn.”
During our Ladies Night chat, Coon took a moment to tease the series, specifically highlighting what’ll appeal to those who are big fans of Downton, but also what will make The Gilded Age different. Check out what she said in this clip!
