Viewers love a Julian Fellowes interval drama. Along with his and Sonja Warfield‘s HBO sequence, The Gilded Age, being set within the Eighties (1883 particularly in Season 3, premiering Sunday, June 22), there are followers who marvel if a Gilded Age and Downton Abbey crossover is feasible. One Downton Abbey character, specifically, makes this considerably doable: Elizabeth McGovern‘s Cora Crawley.
The American-born heiress who married into English the Aristocracy. Cora was born in 1868 in Ohio and didn’t marry Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) till 1890, which suggests she’s presumably nonetheless dwelling in america in the course of the plot of The Gilded Age and will, in concept, pop on this world (she would’ve been 15 years previous in 1883). However there’s one main downside on this crossover speak: networks.
TV Insider related with Fellowes forward of The Gilded Age Season 3 premiere and requested if Downton Abbey and Gilded Age crossing over can be prevented by the exhibits hailing from two completely different channels (the previous aired on PBS, the latter airs on HBO).
“The being on completely different networks places an issue within the path of that, so we’ll simply have to attend and see,” Fellowes says.
There are occasions in The Gilded Age Season 3 that open the door to a Downton crossover much more, nevertheless it nonetheless appears like a stretch that these narrative worlds might collide.
Downton Abbey was a manufacturing of Carnival Movies & Tv in co-production with Masterpiece Theatre. The Gilded Age is a co-production between HBO and Common Tv, a division of Common Studio Group. Whereas the exhibits have Fellowes in frequent, it’s not so simple as Fellowes deciding that he desires to have his TV worlds collide and writing it into The Gilded Age‘s story. The networks must comply with let these exhibits come collectively.
Premiering Sunday, June 22, at 9/8c on HBO (streaming on HBO Max), The Gilded Age Season 3 is probably the most action-packed season but (effectively, as action-packed as a present like this may be). The American Gilded Age was a interval of immense financial and social change, when empires had been constructed, however no victory got here with out sacrifice. Following the Opera Struggle, the previous guard is weakened and the Russells stand poised to take their place on the head of society within the third season. Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) units her sights on a prize that will elevate the household to unimaginable heights whereas George Russell (Morgan Spector) dangers all the things on a gambit that might revolutionize the railroad business — if it doesn’t damage him first.
Throughout the road, the Brook family is thrown into chaos as Agnes Van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) refuses to just accept newly widowed sister Ada Forte’s (Cynthia Nixon) new place as girl of the home. Peggy Scott (Denée Benton) meets a good-looking physician from Newport whose household is lower than keen about her profession.
