William Astor, who co-founded kids TV juggernaut Silvergate Media, has stepped down as the company’s chair.
Silvergate, which was acquired by Sony Pictures Television in 2019, quietly re-branded as Sony Pictures Television – Kids in 2022.
“I can confirm I am no longer associated with Sony and have resigned as director and chairman,” Astor told Variety. He stepped down at the end of December.
Astor originally co-founded the company alongside well-known British television producer Waheed Alli back in 2011. It is best known for producing children’s animated franchises “Octonauts” — which has inspired films and theme park attractions across the world — and Nickelodeon animation “Peter Rabbit,” based on the classic children’s books by Beatrix Potter. It has also produced shows including “Hilda,” a Netflix animated series based on Luke Pearson’s graphic novels of the same name, and Nickelodeon’s “Sunny Day,” about the adventures of a young hair stylist.

[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...

“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.

“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.
That character is Ward McAllister, the mustachioed Southerner with a Benoit Blanc accent and Mrs. Astor’s ear, played to campy perfection by stage and screen legend Nathan Lane. When McAllister...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 2 Episode 4, “Duke It Out.”] Carrie Coon‘s Bertha Russell is fighting two battles in The Gilded Age Season 2: her public opera war with Mrs. Astor (Donna Murphy) and her private battle with Enid Turner/Mrs. Winterton (Kelley Curran). Episode 4 proved she’s currently winning both. After a famous playwright came to town in Episode 3, the Manhattan elite were visited by the English Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb) in Episode 4, and the Russells and the Wintertons were both competing for the prize of his attention. The Wintertons knew the Duke from their time across the pond, but Bertha wouldn’t give her former lady’s maid — and would-be seductress of her husband, George (Morgan Spector) — the satisfaction of the public notoriety that would come with sitting next to him at dinner. She switched their name cards, which was enough to make Turner seethe across ...

A gasp went around the world when viewers learned that Marian (Louisa Jacobsen) has been teaching children watercolors in “The Gilded Age” Season 2, Episode 1.
Less of a gasp and more of a chuckle, really, as “The Gilded Age” did what it arguably does best, delivering an extremely minor narrative development with the intensity of something much more significant. The show is filled with such petty inconveniences, as well as actual serious developments, all of it sold to full effect by the cast and setting. Teaching watercolor probably was a big deal for a high-society unmarried woman in the 19th-century, but it’s exacerbated on “The Gilded Age” by Aunt Agnes’ (Christine Baranski) reaction. Truly, watching characters on the show react to everything from the wrong napkin to a secret child is one of the joys of watching this series.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 2 Episode 2, “Some Sort of Trick.”] Unlike the inherited titles of Julian Fellowes‘ Downton Abbey nobles, his American characters of The Gilded Age can fight their way to the top of society. Bertha (Carrie Coon) and George Russell (Morgan Spector) have succeeded at that as the leaders of the new-money crowd, and Bertha’s fighting for a more permanent spot in Season 2’s “opera war” with old money queen bee Mrs. Astor (Donna Murphy). But the downstairs staff of these wealthy New York City homes experience more than their fair share of class struggles and triumphs. The Gilded Age Season 1 revealed that Russell employee Mr. Watson (Michael Cerveris) had a much different past life (and name). Viewers learn more about his untold story in The Gilded Age Season 2 Episode 2, which reveals that he was once a very wealthy man named Mr. Collier before he lost his fortune...

Bertha Russell is staring out the window at the falling rain. Perched a few feet away, anxiously waiting, is her guest, but Mrs. Russell (played by Carrie Coon) pays her little mind. One gets the sense she could’ve stood there peacefully for 10 minutes, maybe 20, without eliciting any questions from the invited woman (a character best left unnamed), but a TV show can rarely ask its audience to sit in silence for that long, so Bertha pivots to her prey and dispatches with her quickly. “Some gossip has reached me that I confess I find disquieting,” she says, swatting away a follow-up query meant to steer focus to a separate topic. Instead, Bertha continues apace, proceeding to annihilate her visitor, bluntly laying out her failings before making clear she has no room for recourse. She will do what Bertha demands, or she will be further embarrassed — perhaps in public, rather...

HBO's "The Gilded Age" is back for season two, and we couldn't be more excited. Created by "Downton Abbey"'s Julian Fellowes, the historical drama depicts the lives of high society in late-1800s New York City. Season one was jam-packed with drama but if you're not a history buff, you might wonder if the show is based on a true story, or if it's totally fiction. While the main characters are made up, the setting and era that the story explores definitely are not.
Here's a breakdown of the true story behind "The Gilded Age."
What Was The Gilded Age?
The last few decades of the 1800s were coined "The Gilded Age." In general, the era was marked by the rapid growth of industry, an influx of European working-class immigrants, and growing wealth inequality. As a result, railroads and related industries exploded, labor accidents rose sharply, and trusts began forming,...

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.

The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood turned 100 last year — and now the venue is ready for its closeup. Netflix said today that the storied movie palace and birthplace of the red carpet will reopen next month after a three-year renovation and retrofit.
The streamer acquired the Egyptian in 2020 and partnered with the American Cinematheque on a restoration that harks back to the landmark hall’s Roaring Twenties glory. The Egyptian’s grand reopening will be a November 9 screening of David Fincher’s The Killer, starring Michael Fassbender, followed by a Q&a with the filmmaker.
Netflix today also revealed a November 9 release the documentary short Temple of Film: 100 Years of the Egyptian Theatre.

The battle for New York society continues in The Gilded Age Season 2 trailer, which gives a glimpse into each character’s battles ahead.
