Carrie Coon joins HBO's The Gilded Age, replacing Amanda Peet

Deadline

The Leftovers, Fargo and The Sinner alum is returning to HBO as part of a recasting on Julian Fellowes nine-episode period drama. She'll play Bertha Russell, a role Peet had to exit due to scheduling issues. "Bertha Russell comes from the ordinary middle class," per Deadline. "She backed her instincts when she set out to catch her husband George, the son of a merchant family who has proved to be a financial genius. She is determined to use her money and position to break into a society that resists change at every turn."
