"Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes is developing a new period drama for US television. The Gilded Age is currently in the works with NBC and Universal Television. Set in 1880s New York, the potential series will focus on the American Renaissance and the &amp;quot;millionaire titans&amp;quot; of the time. Fellowes said: &amp;quot;This was a vivid time, with dizzying, brilliant ascents and calamitous falls, of record-breaking ostentation and savage rivalry; a time when money was king.&amp;quot; NBC has described the project as &amp;quot;an epic tale of the princes of the American Renaissance, and the vast fortunes they made - and spent&amp;quot;.  Earlier this year, Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes developed the similarly-themed Gilded Lilys - starring Torchwood&amp;#039;s John Barrowman - at ABC, but the pilot was not picked up to series. The news of Fellowes&amp;#039;s new drama comes days after his Emmy-winning ITV series Downton Abbey was picked up for a fourth series and 2013 Christmas special. &amp;gt; Downton Abbey Dan Stevens &amp;#039;not returning for fourth series&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Downton Abbey Julian Fellowes: &amp;#039;Maggie Smith&amp;#039;s Violet will not die&amp;#039; Watch a trailer for the third series of Downton Abbey below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
