Ward McAllister's The Four Hundred list (published in the New York Times) was so influential it even reached the Philippines (Manila's (First) 400 due to being a former American colony) and was probably the inspiration for the Wizarding World (Harry Potter universe)'s Sacred Twenty-eight (the British pureblood families)
I also hope future seasons (if they ever cross into the 20th century) may feature a British family semi-inspired by Downton Abbey's Crawley family (County of Grantham)

What if any real life person is Agnes Van Rhijn inspired by?
Me favourite characters are Oscar Ban Rhijn and Ward McAlister (Nathan Lane. Audra McDonald because she played Sara in the broadway musical Ragtime that I worked for.
Worst character is George Russell. He really needs a good shave!
Why dont they use the real names of the characters that they are inspired after instead?

I loved this video. I was familiar with the Astors and Vanderbilts but not many of the other characters. I feel somewhat caught up. S1 was great. And I just watched S2 E1. It made me think that S1 was all prelude, getting me to know the characters, S2 E1 was able to hit the ground running. I liked it better than all of S1.

Aunt Ada, Miss Brooks, Aurora Fane, and Miss Chamberlain are my favorite characters. I know that this is in New York but I would like to see suffragette Carrie Chapman Catt. Also, Id love to see more real life social workers from that time.

I love the show The Gilded Age and I am very excited to see season 2 on its way! I worked at the Biltmore Estate for years and am still enchanted by the history of the Vanderbilts and the gilded age period of history!

It is interesting that Julian Fellowes linked the inspirational stories of two separate families, Gould & Vanderbilt (who also had railroad investments, to create the Russels.

I would love to see John Jacob Astor IV be portrayed. He would be in his early 20s here. The show gives the impression Mrs Astor only had one child.

I've never watched this show before, but considering all the hype surrounding it, I might just give it a watch!

Maybe someone knows, when is the next season planned?
I thought it was supposed to come out this year.
