According to Fellowes:Â “To write The Gilded Age is the fulfillment of a personal dream, I have been fascinated by this period of American history for many years and now NBC has given me the chance to bring it to a modern audience. I could not be more excited and thrilled. The truth is, America is a wonderful country with a rich and varied history, and nothing could give me more pleasure than to be the person to bring that compelling history to the screen.”
In May 2019, the series moved from NBC to HBO, with a straight to series order The series is scheduled to premiere on January 24, 2022, and consist of nine episodes.
