The robber barons of HBO’s The Gilded Age are making a house call to a decidedly more modern address this Monday. Morgan Spector and Carrie Coon, who play the formidable George and Bertha Russell, are slated to appear on ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis. The booking places the stars of a prestige historical drama squarely into the flow of a contemporary news broadcast, a format that is worlds away from the gaslit corridors of 1880s New York.
Airing weeknights at 7:00 PM EDT, Linsey Davis’s program has carved out a space in the streaming-first news environment by balancing hard news with culturally relevant conversations.
The Emmy-winning newscast streams across a host of platforms, including Disney+, Hulu, and YouTube TV, reaching an audience that might not otherwise be tuned into a traditional evening news report. With a yet-to-be-announced topic for its “Prime Focus” segment, the draw for Monday’s broadcast is the clash of old-world fiction with new-world news.
ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis streams weeknights at 7:00 PM EDT on ABC News Live.
