Gilded Age: Season Two
Tuesdays until March 24th.
February 3 - March 24, 2026 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Location: Online via Zoom
The Gilded Age is an American historical (1880s to 1900s) drama television series created and written by Julian Fellowes. The series explores conflicts of new money, industrialism, and old money, the African American upper class, and the domestic workers who are considered a lower class. The series follows Marian Brook, a young woman entering 1882 New York City's rigid social scene with strict rules that cause drama, daily conflicts, and scandals between families of “new money” and “old money.” We will discuss the numerous real (and famous) families of the era, as they relate to Season 2.
