Imelda Staunton will reportedly be absent from the third 'Downton Abbey' movie.The 68-year-old actress played Lady Maud Bagshaw in the first two films in the franchise but she's not expected to reprise the role because of her commitments to London stage production 'Hello Dolly!', which she will be starring in while the project films over the summer.However, Imelda's real-life husband, Jim Carter, will be back as Charles Carson, as will Hugh Bonneville as the Earl of Grantham.A source told The Sun newspaper: “This will no doubt be sad news for Downton fans, in particular those who were endeared by the character of Lady Maud.“But they will draw some comfort from the fact that two of the best-loved central characters will be returning for this third outing.“It still remains to be seen if the producers and writer Julian Fellowes will be...

Editor’s note: Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age writer Julian Fellowes has written a heartfelt salute to his friend and colleague, the producer Ileen Maisel, who died in London on February 16 aged 68.
Ileen Maisel was born in Los Angeles, California, where she was raised. In fact, her father had moved there from Alabama to work in retail sales, so she had no immediate help with a career in show business, but it was clearly enough that she breathed the same air as the great filmmakers of the past and present. It is no surprise to learn that by the age of 15 she was working for the entertainment journalist Rona Barrett.
From then on, she embraced, bathed in, and generally loved the film industry until the end of her life. There was never much doubt as to where she was headed and she was still young when she entered the industry.

Imelda Staunton reveals that plans are afoot for Downton Abbey 3, that might just be shooting before the end of the year.
It looks like the very posh curtains are falling on Downton Abbey, with the news that a third film is set to happen. A third and final film as it happens.
The new film will pick up after the events of 2022’s Downton Abbey: A New Era.

The story of Belgravia continues in Belgravia: The Next Chapter. The sequel series, which debuted on January 14 on MGM+, is set 30 years after the events of the original limited series created by Julian Fellowes, and it stars Benjamin Wainwright as the grown Frederick Trenchard, Harriet Slater as Clara Dunn, Toby Regbo as Reverend James Trenchard (Frederick’s younger brother), and Hannah Onslow as Emily Dunn, Harriet’s sister. The Reverend pays a visit to the Dunn household in the TV Insider exclusive clip from Belgravia: The Next Chapter Episode 3, coming out on Sunday, January 28 at 9/8c on MGM+.

The lush British costume drama, Belgravia: The Next Chapter, from Downton Abbey’s Julian Fellowes has undergone a few changes since 2020. The setting is still the posh London enclave of the title, but it’s 1871 — 30 years later — and most of Season 1’s characters have died. The spotlight is now on Lord Frederick Trenchard (Benjamin Wainwright), grandson of the original Belgravia’s wealthy, social-climbing merchant James Trenchard. (Credit: Mark Mainz/Carnival Film & Television Limited/MGM+) Frederick was badly abused by his father, James’ son Oliver. The reason? Frederick’s real father is the cad John Bellasis (Adam James). Never told about his illegitimate birth, the insecure, self-loathing young lord blames his inability to love on his younger brother, James. “James was always the favorite child,” says exec producer Gareth Neame. “That completely destroyed Frederick.” Still, Frederick believes — maybe incorrectly — that ...

Before “Succession” set Emmy Awards records for its fourth and final season, it had a much more humble start. Its first season earned only five nominations, including three above-the-line bids for Drama Series, Directing, and Writing; it took home one for Jesse Armstrong’s season finale script. From those beginnings, it broke out in Season 2 with 18 nominations, winning seven including Best Drama Series.
Another HBO drama, “The Gilded Age,” is poised to have a similar awards path from a first season underdog to second season juggernaut.

Christopher Nolan has made a career for himself for his unconventional narrative structures of storytelling. His 11 films have ranged from psychological thrillers to science fiction epics to “The Dark Knight” trilogy, and have garnered a total of 36 Academy Award nominations, five of which for Nolan individually. With his latest directed epic “Oppenheimer” breaking box office records and gathering massive awards buzz since its release on July 21 by Universal Pictures, let’s break down Nolan’s five Oscar nominations for three of his movies.
Nolan’s first recognition at the Oscars came for his second feature “Memento,” based on his brother Jonathan Nolan’s short story “Memento Mori,” both released in 2001. The psychological mystery thriller written and directed by Nolan stars Guy Pearce as a man with anterograde amnesia and short-term memory loss as he tries to solve the murder of his wife.

In HBO’s period drama The Gilded Age, the character of Peggy Scott (Denée Benton) offers a solitary glimpse into the life of the Black upper class in New York City in the 1880s. Yet in season two, that contextual lens is expanded when the secretary and aspiring journalist, just one generation removed from slavery, ventures to the South and witnesses both the progressive educational strides made by and for African Americans at the dawn of the establishment of historically Black colleges and universities, as well as the social prejudices that threaten their existence.
“Peggy gets to explore so many different textures of the Black world this season, from going to Tuskegee, to meeting Sarah Garnet and seeing the community organizing that was happening during that time, and getting to see a Black social gathering for the fireworks at the Brooklyn Bridge, which was one of the first in the series,...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 2 finale.] Everything has changed after The Gilded Age Season 2 finale. Sunday’s episode revealed the victor of the opera war, confirmed a new but long-suspected romance, and delivered a Van Rhijn family cliffhanger in the final seconds that won’t be addressed until the potential third season of the HBO period drama. The Gilded Age Season 2 was delightfully fun TV with every episode, building and improving upon the Season 1 foundation. Fans (and we) are already clamoring for a renewal, but that’s a ways away. For now, let’s dive into the delicious Gilded Age finale twists with Louisa Jacobson (Marian Brook), executive producer/writer Sonja Warfield, series creator Julian Fellowes, and more. Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) and Mrs. Astor’s (Donna Murphy) opera war came to a head in Episode 8. After much social campaigning and private plotting — and some battles won by the queen of...

On paper, For All Mankind and The Gilded Age don’t have a lot in common. One is a decades-spanning alt-history exploration of the space race on Apple TV+; the other is a lavish HBO historical drama set in the 19th century from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. But it doesn’t matter if you are the commander of a mining colony on Mars in another version of 2003 or own a Pittsburgh steel mill in 1883; if workers are mistreated, they will organize.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 2 Episode 7, “Wonders Never Cease.”] Tragedy befell the Van Rhijn and Forte households in The Gilded Age Season 2 Episode 7. The penultimate episode of the season saw a death in the family and the shocking loss of the family fortune. Here, executive producers Julian Fellowes and Sonja Warfield explain to TV Insider why these hardships were necessary. It feels like Ada’s (Cynthia Nixon) happiness was taken away just as quickly as it came. After falling quickly in love with Reverend Luke Forte (the endlessly endearing Robert Sean Leonard), the newlyweds were dealt a heavy blow with his cancer diagnosis in Episode 6. In Episode 7, his health quickly declined, leading to his tragic death near the end of the episode. Agnes (Christine Baranski), Marian (Louisa Jacobson), and the household staff rallied around Ada and Luke in their time of need, providing shoulders to cry on when he was lost.

“I don’t understand. Are you and Mrs. Astor friends or rivals?” Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga) asks her mother in a recent episode of The Gilded Age. “The two are not exclusive,” Bertha (Carrie Coon) responds without missing a beat.
Bertha struggled in the first season to be considered without disdain. Now, she is the master of this game, going up against high-society maven Mrs. Astor (Donna Murphy) rather than courting her attention. The exchange between mother and daughter sums up how the ongoing opera wars are turning a frenemy dynamic into a socialite feud. In doing so, the HBO series from Julian Fellowes has hit a glorious stride worthy of the Sunday night slot, tapping into an irresistible mix of petty quarrels, lavish parties, and captivating couture.

I love The Gilded Age and Downton Abbey. I’ve watched every episode of both shows more than once. I’ve seen all of the Downton Abbey movies. I’ve visited the set of The Gilded Age, recapped it every week it airs, and have interviewed practically every star and creator of it. Since The Gilded Age Season 2 premiered in late October, I’ve been rewatching Downton Abbey (again) to keep the Julian Fellowes vibes flowing as I await my weekly Sunday meeting with the Van Rhijns and the Russells on E. 61st Street. While simultaneously tuning into these upstairs-downstairs dramas, one thing has become clear: The Gilded Age has lapped its predecessor. Classism is Fellowes’ favorite topic to dramatize. Nearly every show he’s ever made has been an exploration of class divides within a given social setting of yesteryear. But it’s Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 2 Episode 5, “Close Enough to Touch.”] Denée Benton‘s Peggy Scott experienced a life-threatening moment in The Gilded Age Season 2’s fifth episode. A run-in with aggressive, drunk white men in a Tuskegee restaurant forced Peggy and T. Thomas Fortune (Sullivan Jones) to flee the Alabama town. Booker T. Washington (Michael Braugher) and his wife, Fannie Washington (Brittany Bradford), helped them sneak out of the town in a wagon and hid them in a barn. As they waited in fear, an angry mob of white men with torches hunted them down, and their intentions were lethal. Thankfully, Peggy and Thomas’ whereabouts remained hidden, and the danger passed. The intensity of the moment led to a passionate kiss in the hay between Peggy and the married Thomas, which will have to be addressed in future episodes. Series creator/writer Julian Fellowes tells TV Insider that her experiences in Tuskegee, which ...

“The Gilded Age” creator Julian Fellowes has never shied away from incorporating real history into his collection of soapy, dramatic costume dramas. The entire conflict of “Downton Abbey” occurs because the agreed-upon heir to the Crawley estate died on the Titanic and “Belgravia’s” events hedge on the documented confusion at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball, famously interrupted by an announcement that called away most of the present men to fight in the Battle of Waterloo. “The Gilded Age,” however, is the first to inject its story with real historical figures whose actions drive the narrative in huge ways. Notably, it makes a real-life person from 19th century New York its secret villain. Or hero, depending on perspective.

This article contains spoilers for The Gilded Age season 2 episode 5.
The Gilded Age has woven the story of Black New Yorkers into the larger fabric of its depiction of 1880’s society. Season 2 expands on this foundation by also showing a slice of what life was like in the South during the same period.
Peggy (Denée Benton) is very eager to cover the most important stories of the day for T. Thomas Fortune’s (Sullivan Jones) newspaper. Covering the Red Cross’s relief work last season has also whet her appetite for traveling beyond the city. During season 2 the opportunity to cover a big and meaningful story presents itself when Booker T. Washington offers Peggy and Fortune the opportunity to cover the opening of a new dormitory at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
The Tuskegee Institute, now called Tuskegee University, was founded in 1881 just two years before the main plot of the series begins.

“I was obsessed with Edith Wharton when I was a teenager. That whole world was very much a part of my imagination when I was a young girl,” remembers Deborah Kampmeier, who directs two episodes of the second season of “The Gilded Age.” The HBO drama series draws heavily on the works of the legendary writer, and the director’s affinity for her writing and the opportunity to step into “the decadence of the world” of that period drew her to the project. She was also inspired by the “epic nature of the style” of the show that was established in its first season by directors Michael Engler and Salli Richardson-Whitfield. Watch our exclusive video interview above.
To acclimate herself to the visual style of the lavish period piece, which is set in 1880s New York, Kampmeier “really studied season one,” sharing, “I watched those episodes multiple times.” She worked...

The new HBO series “The Gilded Age” hails from “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes, and much like that hit period series, this one features a lot of characters. Several cadres of characters keep the plot pivoting back and forth between households and prominent locations around 1890s New York, as the show tells a story of New York City on the cusp of change, where the battle between old money and new money — as well as old and new ways of doing things — is being fought.
A mix of veteran actors and actresses balance out some newer talent in Julian Fellowes’ latest fictional show — from “Sex and the City’s” Cynthia Nixon to Meryl Streep’s youngest daughter Louisa Jacobson, who plays a main heroine at the heart of aristocratic New York City.

The Gilded Age loves a scandal, and Sunday’s episode gave us a doozy. Remember that young widow who was looking to hire someone to remodel her house? Well, Larry scored the coveted gig this week — and they’ll be doing most of their work in her bedroom.
That’s right, we’re only two episodes into the new season and we’ve already got ourselves a good old-fashioned forbidden romance, all the better that Larry’s love interest is played by Laura Benanti. But there’s much more to her character, the quick-witted Susan Blaine, than meets the eye.
