And Just Like That’s Cynthia Nixon in Teaser for New HBO Show
Well, at least this New York City doesn’t have Pelotons.
The latest trailer for HBO’s upcoming The Gilded Age, released on Dec. 13, stars Sex and the City alum Cynthia Nixon along with Christine Baranski, Morgan Spector, Carrie Coon, Denée Benton and Audra McDonald.
Great social divides and racial tensions make Downton Abbey’s creator Julian Fellowes’ upcoming period piece as juicy as any modern story line.
Historically set in 1882, the latest clip shows a young Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) moving from rural Pennsylvania to NYC after the death of her father to live with her old-money aunts Ada (Nixon) and Agnes (Baranski).
Agnes explains to her niece that the city is a “collection of villages” where the “old” have been in charge” for years.
“Well, I’m new. I’ve only just arrived,” says the young relative.
“You are my niece, and you belong to old New York,” Agnes retorts, but the footage makes it pretty clear that this kid is not going to let a snobby old-school principle keep her from taking a big chance in the city of dreams.
