‘The Gilded Age' Season 3 Teaser: Carrie Coon Defends Her Social Rank Amid a Railroad Scandal
The beloved HBO series 'The Gilded Age' is back for Season 3. The Emmy-nominated drama from 'Downton Abbey' creator Julian Fellowes promises just as operatic of a season as its predecessors. And as ensemble star Carrie Coon is fresh off her viral turn on 'The White Lotus,' it seems as though 'The Gilded Age' will get an extra boost of fandom.
The Season 3 logline reads: 'Following the Opera War, the old guard is weakened and the Russells stand poised to take their place at the head of society. Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn't ruin him first. Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house. Peggy meets a handsome doctor from Newport whose family is less than enthusiastic about her career. As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear.'

David E. Kelley Is 'Hopeful' For ‘Big Little Lies' Season 3: 'We All Want To Do It Again'
David E. Kelley is just as eager for the continuation of Big Little Lies as the cast and fans of the HBO serialized adaptation of the Liane Moriarty novel. In a recent interview with People, the veteran TV writer-producer said he is 'hopeful' about Season 3, which would come more than six years after the conclusion of the sophomore installment. More from Deadline Sydney Sweeney Teases 'Euphoria' Season 3: "Cassie Is Crazy" Sarah Jessica Parker "Shocked" By Unpopularity Of 'AJLT's Che Diaz, Says She Loved Working With Sara Ramirez Mickey Down & Konrad Kay Reveal The Tarantino-esque Series They Were Working On Before 'Industry' - SXSW London 'We're hoping it happens,' the show creator, who recently accepted the Visionary Award at the Gotham TV Awards, said. 'We had a great time doing the first two seasons and we all want to do it again. I'm hopeful it'll happen.' Though the main cast — Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz — have largely expressed interest in returning, the quintet of Monterey moms are not yet 'under contract.' In recent months, Kravitz has expressed that she is 'waiting by the phone' for any news of forward movement. 'You need to corral a lot of high-caliber talent and their publicists, but everyone is very committed to it,' the Presumed Innocent creator stated, adding that it was 'pretty nice to hear' that the actresses were game to return. News of a third season first began percolating when Kidman first let it slip that HBO was working on a continuation of the moody, seaside-set crime drama. In the fall of last year, HBO boss Casey Bloys said the delay was attributed to the need for sequel source material from Moriarty, who announced she was developing a followup to her original novel, which will feature a time jump and new characters. With Moriarty still penning the book, Kelley said the project is 'still very premature.' He concluded, 'We haven't really all gotten together to brainstorm yet, but again, it's a great stable of talent. Once we do [get together], I think we have a good shot of figuring it out.'

Michael Douglas on His Timely Doc ‘America's Burning' and His Own Political Ambitions: ‘In 'American President,' I Knew How the Script Ended'
David Smick was trying to decide on a title for his new documentary about the division taking place in America. 'I had a number of clever, abstract titles for the film,' he notes. He says it was executive producer Barry Levinson who told him: 'Dave, have you ever heard of the movie 'Dangerous Marine Animals on the Cape Cod Coast'? No, because they call it 'Jaws.' So, I went with 'America's Burning,' because I thought: you can picture that. And I had anticipated things were going to get worse.' Smick premiered 'America's Burning' a year ago at the Tribeca Film Festival. Narrated and executive produced by Michael Douglas, the film features interviews from such figures as James Carville and Leon Panetta as it details the discord between people on opposite sides of the political spectrum. It also preaches optimism in urging people and politicians to strive for unity. At the time of its premiere, notes Douglas, 'It might have been perceived as being over the top. Now it's almost underestimating what's happened since then.' But still, he says, 'The message is more important and stronger than ever.' More from Variety Martin Scorsese, Catherine Deneuve, Michael Douglas Among Star Guests at Taormina Film Festival Michael Douglas to Be Celebrated at Italy's Taormina Film Festival Where 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' Copy Will Screen (EXCLUSIVE) Michael Douglas Reminisces About Meeting Now-Wife Catherine Zeta-Jones During Career Tribute at Deauville Film Festival Smick, the chairman and CEO of the macroeconomic advisory firm Johnson Smick International as well as a bestselling author and filmmaker, is trying to maintain that positive outlook. 'I'm an optimist by nature, but there are a lot of challenges we didn't have a year ago,' he notes. 'We're discovering we're one recession away from a major social upheaval if we're not careful.' Smick points to 'so much underlying economic anger' over the distribution of wealth in the country despite our economic system being 'the envy of the world.' Smick adds, 'We're doing terrific, except we've got this underlying potential cancer that could spread, and all we need is a stiff recession, and then we're going to see the anger come out of the woodwork, and people are going to be shocked, I think.' Despite how much the world has changed since the film's premiere, Smick says he didn't see any need to add an epilogue or a coda for its streaming release. 'I didn't think it needed to be updated,' he notes. Though he is open to exploring the topic further, perhaps in a longer form. 'You go to these screenings, and I watch the audience. I wish I had two hours because there's so many issues you could get into, but you're limited. I'm thinking if we ever did expand it, it would be because someone came along and wanted to do a series.' Bringing on the man who intoned the famous 'greed is good' line in his Oscar-winning performance in 'Wall Street' was a stroke of genius, but Smick also got a welcome collaborator with Douglas. The actor came aboard when the director sent him an early cut of the film, in which Smick had provided his own narration. 'It had his excellent voiceover. They didn't need me,' he notes. Disagrees Smick, 'I have a very soft voice, not very distinctive. I said to my producer, Ian Michaels, 'We should see if there's a celebrity that can dominate this.'' He hired a casting director to work with. 'I said, 'I'd like to have someone who's center, but left to center, who is troubled by the fact that the country is so divided. I think there's a part of the country we could never agree with, but someone who [people] could get behind a movie that may be represented about 70% of the country or 80% of the country.' And first was on the list was Michael.' Douglas was instantly taken. 'It resonated with me, with all the concerns that I had, which was the loss of our middle class was having, the tremendous amount of money that the Supreme Court allowed into our elections and our lack of bipartisanship. I thought it was a good message, if I could help support it.' And Smick wants everyone to know that Douglas' EP credit was earned – he didn't just read a script and do some promos. 'His contributions were enormous,' Smick says, adding that Douglas had suggestions about moving chapters around and rearranging some things. 'I would say, minimum, his changes injected 55% more energy into the film.' Douglas says he was happy to lend his name to the film to attract attention. 'But the interesting and frustrating point was how difficult it was to get distribution,' he reveals. 'There were a lot of companies that, when we initially showed this, I think were a little afraid of it. Even though the attempt was to really be bipartisan, not picking on one party or the other.' He adds, 'So kudos to Amazon, and I'm happy they came around. And kudos to David, in terms of [how] he foresaw what was coming.' Despite having portrayed one of cinema's greatest presidents in Rob Reiner's 1995 film 'The American President,' Douglas says he has no interest in aspiring to the White House in real life. 'No, no, I'm 80,' he demurs. 'That's the magic turn-off age.' Smick, for his part, says people constantly come up to Douglas to repeat the lines from the film. 'That must happen like 10 times a month,' he responds, 'In 'American President,' I knew how the script ended. That's the big difference.'

Sarah Jessica Parker admits she was ‘shocked' the ‘And Just Like That…' audience disliked Che Diaz
And just like that, Sarah Jessica Parker found out what the fandom really thought. The 'Sex and the City' alum, 60, who reprised her role as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw in the show's spinoff 'And Just Like That…' revealed she was 'shocked' to find out the audience didn't like Sara Ramirez's character Che Diaz. 'A friend of mine brought it up to me, and it's like: 'What are you talking about?'' Parker said in an interview with The Guardian on Friday. 'And he said: 'Yeah, there's all this conversation.'' Advertisement 7 Sara Ramirez as Che Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in 'And Just Like That…' MAX Ramirez, 49, originated the character in 2021 during season one before becoming Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) love interest in season two. They left the show after the second season wrapped. Parker explained to the outlet that she doesn't listen to backlash against projects she stars in. Advertisement 'I've been an actor for 50 years, and I've almost never paid attention to peripheral chatter,' the 'Hocus Pocus' star added, noting that when it came to Ramirez she 'Ioved working with them.' 7 Sara Ramirez and Sarah Jessica Parker in 'And Just Like That…' During Ramirez's run, fans took to social media to share their dislike of the stand up comedian. One viewer wrote on X, 'Stop subjecting us to che, they are making it really hard to get into and just like that…. Well, them, and all the other annoying things that have ruined a perfectly good cupcake of a show.' Advertisement A second social media user wrote, 'I've started to skip the Che Diaz scenes in And Just Like That but now the episodes are like two minutes long.' 7 The HBO drama 'And Just Like That…' Rounding out the annoyance, a third watcher said: 'Trigger warning for this week's episode of And Just Like That: it opens with Che doing stand up again.' Before Ramirez concluded their run on the spinoff, the 'Grey's Anatomy' alum wrote on Instagram, 'I am not the fictional characters I have played, nor am I responsible for the things that are written for them to say.' Advertisement 'I am a human being, an artist, an actor. And we are living in a world that has become increasingly hostile toward anyone who dares to free themselves from the gender binary, or disrupt the mainstream.' Ramirez also told Entertainment Weekly that they're 'actually nothing like' the person they portrayed on the HBO show. 7 Sara Ramirez and Cynthia Nixon in 'And Just Like That…' Craig Blankenhorn 'It was absolutely exhausting to bring this person to life,' they confessed. 'I had to stay in a bit of an extroverted mode in order to do that. So the efforts that it took to bring this character forth makes me feel really proud of what I've been able to deliver.' Although Ramirez was thrilled to see their character evoke chatter. 'I love that people have passionate opinions, that Che struck a nerve,' they said. 'I think it's really interesting to play a person who elicits such strong reactions and who can start much-needed conversations. If the storylines created major watercooler moments after each episode, then we did our job.' In May, Nixon, 59, divulged that she thinks 'And Just Like That…' works best when the core group of characters aren't in long term romances. 7 Che Diaz and Miranda. Advertisement 'I think our show is always at its most quintessential when as many of us as possible are single and dating and failing at it,' the actress stated in a conversation with Entertainment Weekly at the time. Now, with season three of the drama, which also stars Kristin Davis, Nicole Ari Parker, Sarita Choudhury and John Corbett, in full swing, viewers are in store for a whole new slew of relationships. So far, Rosie O'Donnell guest starred as a virgin nun who slept with Miranda during the premiere episode. 'Rosie and I have known each other for a long time,' Nixon told the outlet. 'I was like, 'Shall I text her?' And [showrunner Michael Patrick King] was like, 'Sure!' And she was wonderfully excited about the prospect, so we had a great time.' Advertisement 7 Sara Ramirez as Che Diaz. Season 3, Episode 1, titled 'Outlook Good,' saw O'Donnell, 63, take on the role of Mary, who meets Miranda a lesbian bar. The two then headed back to Mary's hotel room where they then have sex. 'One of the things that it meant was that Miranda was single again,' Nixon told E! News last month about Miranda's breakup from Che. 'And that the tensions between Miranda and Che—and also Miranda and Steve—had been quelled and quieted.' Advertisement 7 Sara Ramirez and Sarah Jessica Parker. Craig Blankenhorn 'Just speaking for Miranda,' Nixon explained, 'it meant that she was setting out on this new dating world having decided she wanted to date women and nonbinary people, but not really quite knowing how to go about that.' Also set to guest star is 'Law & Order' vet Mehcad Brooks. Advertisement 'The part of my personality that will do anything for a laugh that has no place on 'Law & Order,' I get to do it [on this show],' the 44-year-old gushed to The Post in May. 'One of the highlights of my career is that I get to act across from Nicole Ari Parker,' Brooks added. I've known her for 20 years, we've worked together before – but never in this just a joy to be around, I'm learning so much.'
