We are just days away from Season 2 of HBO’s “The Gilded Age,” and the excitement — at least on IndieWire’s TV team — is palpable. Julian Fellowes’ period drama about New York socialites in the late-19th century returns on October 29, sure to promise more scenery chewing and backstabbing from Christine Baranski, Carrie Coon, Cynthia Nixon, and the rest of the cast.
“The Gilded Age” Season 1 premiered in January 2022, so it’s been some time since viewers caught up with the old-school Upper East Side crew. Who hates whom, who stole someone else’s servant, who accidentally-almost slept with a maid, and who’s hiding their sexuality while pursuing a marriage? Some of it matters, some of it doesn’t — but all of it will be a treat to watch as both high and low drama unfold in Season 2.

Lucy Boynton (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Will Poulter (“The Revenant”) are set to star in Hugh Laurie’s adaptation of “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?”, one of Agatha Christie’s earliest murder mystery novels.
Laurie (“House”) is set to direct and act in the three-part series for BritBox North America, in which he plays the creepy Dr. James Nicholson, a clinical director of a sanatorium.
Christie published “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?”, which follows Bobby (Poulter) and shrewd socialite Lady Frances (Boynton) as they untangle a murder mystery, in 1934. In classic Christie fashion, there are plenty of twists and turns until the perpetrator is finally unmasked.
“I’m so thrilled to be working with Hugh and Will, and on this story from one of my favourite authors,” said Boynton. “I can’t wait to get started.” She won’t have to wait long with production kicking off this week.

Taking a brief hiatus from blockbuster fare following her eye-catching breakout in last year’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Rebecca Ferguson leads an all-star cast in the first trailer for espionage drama, Despite the Falling Snow.
Written and directed by Shamim Sarif – working from her own 2004 novel, no less – the spy thriller is rooted in the bitter-cold setting of Moscow which, during the late ’50s, was still in the thick of the Cold War. Ferguson plays Lauren, an American agent tasked with going undercover as Katya Grinkova to retrieve Russian military plans deemed crucial by her home country.
But those plans fall onto the back-burner once Ferguson’s lead meets Soviet big wig Alexander Ivanov (Sam Reid), a charming and idealistic politician with whom she strikes up a passionate relationship.
Here’s the official synopsis from Sarif’s novel:

So cosy and traditional is The Musketeers in many ways that the show needs to work extra hard not to become predictable and staid.
Last week's offering was a little too by-the numbers, but 'The Exiles' - a pacy tale of Royal conspiracy - manages to pepper plenty of decent plot twists throughout, whilst still maintaining that period romp feel.
Instructed by the Cardinal to return a mother and her child to Paris, Aramis (Santiago Cabrera) and D'artagnan (Luke Pasqualino) find themselves seperated when the infant, Henry, is snatched.
Given Aramis' prowess with the ladies, you'd be forgiven for expecting a perfunctory romance plot the moment he's tasked with protecting Amy Nuttall's beautiful widow Agnes.
But thanks to strong performances from Nuttall and Cabrera, and the wise decision not to ever have Agnes leap into the Musketeer's arms, their connection is portrayed as something more meaningful than a fleeting passion.

Tara Fitzgerald guest stars in this week's politically themed episode of The Musketeers...
This review contains spoilers.
1.6 The Exiles
After last week’s disappointingly weak instalment, The Musketeers sees both a change in focus and pace in this week’s episode, The Exiles. Gone is the emphasis on fleshing out the Musketeers' back stories, and in its place a political thriller involving a King with mum issues, a King’s mum with king issues and finally – but no means least, a Musketeer with attachment issues.
Despite now being de-shackled from delving into the Musketeers' past, the plot itself doesn’t break any new ground. The King’s mother, Marie de Medici, risks execution by returning to her son after apparent attempts on her life. Elsewhere, D’Artagnan and Aramis are charged with the safe escort of a mother, her son and a priest to the Cardinal for reasons unknown.

Kids. Such as Sex, Lies, and Videotape or Reservoir Dogs before it, and such as Winter’s Bone, Blue Valentine and Fruitvale Station after it, Larry Clark & Harmony Korine’s seminal film is forever connected in “spirit” to the lieu where it received its secret midnight premiere screening in 1995. The Sundance Film Festival might be known as the birthplace of U.S indie filmmaking innovation, avant-gardism, a larger definition of the low budgeted film response to Hollywood in not only narrative but in the non-fiction form, but it is a festival made strong by its renewal and familiarity. That close acquaintanceness exists in Kids‘ starlets Rosario Dawson and Chloë Sevigny filmography/career path trajectory and connection to Park City (both have several indie films slated for ’14 – of which I’ve included in our predictions list) and it is that “familiarity” that is visibly noticeable in how I map out my annual predictions list.

Whether we like it or we don’t (we don’t), tonight marks the third season finale of Masterpiece Theatre’s Downton Abbey.
As with every season, this year has been an emotional rollercoaster revolving around the estate’s upstairs and downstairs tenants, and it will be hard to say goodbye.
By now, many of you have most likely seen tonight’s closer, which aired as the 2012 Christmas Special in the U.K. If not, then you’ve probably at least heard rumblings about the episode.
But fear not, blissfully ignorant viewers. Although I will allude to a twist taking place tonight, I won’t blatantly spell it out. However, beware of any pieces you may put together as well as the comments section.

"You know the trouble with you lot? You're all in love with the wrong people." -- the wisdom of Mrs. Patmore
Not every servant on Downton Abbey can have the fairy tale romance of Bates and Anna (false murder rap and imprisonment aside), and a servant in the 1920s is further constrained by his/her status. For every Gwen (Rose Leslie) who opened up her romantic prospects by becoming a secretary, sadly there's a fallen Ethel (Amy Nuttall) who's forced into prostitution after having an affair with a military man. What's one of the serving class to do but flirt awkwardly with one of their own in hopes of safely pairing off?

On the screen, Downton Abbey's downstairs house staff are decidedly unglamorous and dressed to reflect their life's station. But at the SAG Awards Sunday night, where they won for best TV cast, the actors said they were thrilled to be made up and presenting themselves as red-carpet ready. "It's bliss. It really is nice to have more than 10 minutes spent on your face," said actress Phyllis Logan, who plays stoic Mrs. Hughes, the head maid. Added Amy Nuttall, who plays Ethel, the housemaid turned prostitute: We all get costume and hair and makeup envy of the upstairs girls. They all look immaculate and fresh,...

The stars of Downton Abbey admitted that they felt "overwhelmed" after winning a gong at last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards. In an excitable speech after the show had beaten Homeland, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men to the 'Drama Ensemble' prize, star Phyllis Logan revealed that the cast were surprised to triumph. "We were so not expecting this," she joked. "Oh, shut the French windows!" Logan, who was accompanied on stage by Allen Leech, Sophie McShera, Michelle Dockery and Amy Nuttall, added: "We would like to thank, well, first of all the SAG for even bothering to consider us against this fantastic category that we're in. We're just absolutely overwhelmed by it all." (more)...

The Screen Actors Guild Awards honored the "Downton Abbey" cast with Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. The cast members appeared genuinely surprised when their show was announced as the category's winner, and the acceptance speech by Phyllis Logan -- who is outstanding as Mrs. Hughes -- proved it.
Logan delivered the acceptance backed by castmates Michelle Dockery (one of Zap2it's Worst Dressed nominees), Sophie McShera (who plays young Daisy), Amy Nuttall (Ethel) and Allen Leech (Branson).
"We are so not expecting this," says Logan. "Shut the french windows." As the audience giggled, Logan continued, "We would like to thank, first of all, SAG for even bothering to consider us ... We're just so overwhelmed by it all."

The rebellious couple returned to ‘Downton Abbey’ on Jan. 20 with the fuzz hot on their trail!
Tom (Allen Leech) may be a beautifully wrapped package, but sometimes I wonder if the box isn’t completely empty. He arrived at Downton this week, all wet — I know what I said, let’s move on — and all alone. The police believed him to be an instigator of a rebellion, so he fled Ireland and left Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay) behind. Yes, pregnant Sybil. God, how could someone who looks so good in a nightshirt be so stupid?!
Sybil eventually made it to the abbey — her and Tom’s 360-degree kiss in the main hall was a nice touch — but her troubles are far from over. It looks like she and Tom will have to stay there at least until the baby is born, which by my calculations should be sometime next week!

What an excellent episode of "Downton Abbey," gang. Intrigue with the estate, Lady Edith does something interesting and poor Ethel makes everyone cry.
Upstairs
So over in Ireland, Tom is on the run from the police, so he leaves his pregnant wife to travel separately from her. Robert is pretty outraged and so are we, frankly. We get that Sybil is her own woman and was in on the scheme but that still seems awfully risky.
Robert manages to keep Tom out of jail, but he can never return to his homeland, so Sybil thinks they should just stay at Downton (and we agree, as viewers, because we love Tom and Sybil). Hopefully this does not end in Tom abandoning Sybil because of his principles.
In other news, Downton's books are in complete disarray and Matthew wants to do something about it, now that he is co-owner of the estate thanks to deux ex machin-Swire.

The next time Downton Abbey appears on PBS, viewers could be in for a shock. The character of Robert Crawley might be giving a speech, only to be interrupted by an advertisement from a super Pac that questions why the Crawleys pay a lower nominal tax rate than their servants. Or maybe one of the characters will become unwillfully pregnant, as Ethel Parks (Amy Nuttall) did in the second season, before a commercial for Planned Parenthood comes on about the necessity of reproductive health services.

Downton Abbey's Theo James — that's Mr. Pamuk to you, or poor Mr. Pamuk to Mary — has been cast in Greg Berlanti's CBS cop drama Golden Boy, TV Line reports. James replaces Ryan Phillippe, who dropped out of the show just a few weeks after signing on for it, as a police officer who's rapidly, and maybe too rapidly, rising through the ranks. Does this casting mean the influx of Downton folk to American TV is finally happening? If so, can someone please cast Ethel (Amy Nuttall) in something?...

**Spoilers ahead**
While class separates the women upstairs from the women downstairs at Downton Abbey, and this class difference intersects with gender in various ways, they ultimately do share a common gender. Such is the uniting potential of shared social and political disadvantage that often it breaks through the other barriers between people. The first two seasons of Downton Abbey span the 1910s and it should be interesting to see how the 1920s affect the women of Downton Abbey in the third season.
Mrs. Hughes (Phyllis Logan): Mrs. Hughes more than any other character is a steadying force downstairs. This means she is often involved in the plots of others. The main time she is the center of a plot is when she briefly rekindles a relationship with a man from her past and has to decide if she will pick work or love, a choice she had faced years earlier.

The night saw the start of the show’s second season on ITV, and then hours later and thousands of miles away, the show won four Emmys at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards, for a total of six Emmys this year recognising its incredibly well received first season.
Courtesy of Classic FM, there now comes a gallery of images taken behind-the-scenes from the second season of the show that has just begun.
First airing back in September last year, the first episode of Downton Abbey was watched by more than nine million people in the UK as it was broadcast live, and more than eleven million factoring in ITV Player views.

I wouldn't say there was pressure to do it but I certainly was young and naïve because I was just 18 when I started in Emmerdale. "My dad says, 'Look, don't regret it. What's done is done'.
