Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorCasting directors Bernard Telsey and Adam Caldwell are already back at work on season two of HBO’s “The Gilded Age.”The series stars Christine Baranski as Agnes van Rhijn, a socialite living in early-1880s New York City with her sister, Ada Brook, played by Cynthia Nixon. “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes brings wealth, scheming and social hierarchy to New York, and with that a wealth of Broadway actors who make appearances throughout the first season.Telsey and Caldwell spoke with Variety about how they were able to bring Nathan Lane, Bill Irwin and Steven Spinella to the show.
They also talk about why Baranski called Agnes “a dream role,” and they tease casting for season two. Bernard Telsey: I don’t know if I was surprised.
You’re always surprised, right? But it’s exactly what I had hoped would happen because of Julian’s history.I was one of those audience members who found “Downton Abbey” not on day one, but day seven. I had a feeling about this.
I knew from people I circled with who are not in the industry, who were so excited by the American version of “Downton Abbey,” so to speak.And then, I think our secret weapon of putting every theater and musical theater actor into it created just an extra buzz in the New York community. I’m not saying they’re responsible for the millions of people watching, but I knew that they would be responsible for a bunch of the good social media responses.Adam Caldwell: We knew that the New York buzz was great because so many people were saying, ‘I can’t wait.’ It was also happening during the pandemic and there was this hunger for it.Telsey: I feel the first conversation about, Agnes (Baranski) was in 2018.
