Created by Julian Fellowes, the mastermind behind the beloved Downton Abbey, The Gilded Age transports audiences to the vibrant and tumultuous high society of 1880s New York City. The series masterfully contrasts the established 'old money' families, personified by dowager sisters Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and Ada Forte (Cynthia Nixon), with the ambitious 'new money' Russells, led by railroad magnate George (Morgan Spector) and his socialite wife Bertha (Carrie Coon), as they navigate the intricate social ladders of the era.

After a hiatus of over a year, the lavish costume drama is slated to premiere its next season on HBO on November 1. Viewers can anticipate more intricate plots, stunning period costumes, and the compelling social maneuvering that has become the show's hallmark. The series is available for streaming on HBO Max (now Max).

Beyond the screen, the talented cast is extending their artistic reach into the holiday season with the release of Voices of the Gilded Age: The Christmas Album. As reported by Collider, citing Playbill, this musical endeavor is a natural fit for many of the show's actors, given their extensive backgrounds in Broadway productions. The album, produced by Grammy-winner Desmond Child, will feature a blend of cherished traditional Christmas tunes and original compositions.

Set to release on November 6, just five days after the show's season premiere, the album boasts an impressive lineup of vocalists from the series. Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector will recite the classic poem "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," while Christine Baranski lends her voice to "We Need a Little Christmas." Other notable cast members performing include Denée Benton, Jordan Donica, Audra McDonald, Donna Murphy, Kelli O’Hara, Laura Benanti, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Taylor Richardson, Taylor Trensch, and Adrienne Warren. The album will be available for pre-order and purchase on digital platforms, CD, and vinyl.
