The Gilded Age
HBO • Nov 1, 2026Old New York the 1880's. Old Money and New Money are the opposites that attract to create a Post Civil War Era New York society. The Who's Who of society is carefully orchestrated by the Old Money folks that can't help but be fascinated and seduced by the "nouveau riche" folk. The lives of the characters are also merged with people from all walks of life.
Old Money makes class clashes and family ties entertaining with polished city settings, sharp banter, and romantic warmth. The Gilded Age brings that pleasure to 1880s New York, where lavish drawing rooms, cutting social snubs, and ambitious newcomers make every dinner party a contest, with a slower, more sprawling pace.
