Harry Gregson-Williams (The Chronicles of Narnia, Shrek, The Martian, Mulan, Man on Fire, Kingdom of Heaven) & Rupert Gregson-Williams (Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Hacksaw Ridge, The Legend of Tarzan) have teamed up to score the upcoming HBO original series The Gilded Age. The show is created by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey, Gosford Park) and stars Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Denée Benton, Taissa Farmiga, Louisa Jacobson, Blake Ritson, Harry Richardson, Simon Jones, Thomas Cocquerel, Jack Gilpin, Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski. The 9-part drama is set in the late 19th Century and revolves around a young woman moving from rural Pennsylvania to New York City after the death of her father to live with her thoroughly old money aunts and inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her rich neighbors. Fellowes is also executive producing the Universal Television production with Gareth Neame (Belgravia, Jamestown), David Crockett (A Cure for Wellness, Captive State), as well as Michael Engler (The Chaperone) and Salli Richardson-Whitfield who also directed the series. Harry & Ruppert Gregson-Williams have previously co-scored George Clooney’s 2019 Hulu limited series Catch-22. The Gilded Age will premiere on January 24, 2022 on HBO and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
Harry’s other recent projects include Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci (opening in theaters tomorrow, November 24) and Pierre Morel’s Al Kameen, while Rupert has recently scored the Netflix animated film Back to the Outback (to premiere on December 10) and also has James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (scheduled to be released on December 16, 2022) coming up.
