Julian Fellowes compares ‘Downton Abbey’ and ‘The Gilded Age’

New York – 13 June 2025
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Sonja Warfield, producer, writer and Julian Fellowes, executive producer, writer:
Fellowes: "I think that ‘Downton’ is very English and it’s about a group of people who largely still exist, although they don’t have the same servants operating, but the rest of their prejudices and thoughts are pretty similar and they’re limited but decent, which I think is a fairly fair assessment. Whereas in ‘Gilded Age,’ we were writing about American society, writing about Black society, we were all writing about all sorts of different areas. And there, I was quite reliant on Sonja (Warfield/Exec producer-writer), and she would say, ‘no, we wouldn’t do this, so they wouldn’t care about that, or she wouldn’t be interested in this.’ And on the whole, I did what I was told (laughs)."
