LOS ANGELES – Creator Julian Fellowes is aware of there will probably be comparisons between his new interval drama The Gilded Age – about upper-crust New Yorkers and their servants within the Eighteen Eighties – and his beloved present Downton Abbey (2010 to 2015), which chronicled the equally strict class system in Britain just a few a long time later.
However he tells The Straits Occasions the brand new present has “a special power” as a result of it’s about upwardly-mobile People relatively than members of a declining British aristocracy – though Downton followers will probably be relieved to search out the identical delightfully sharp-tongued older women on this collection as nicely.
