HBO’s Monday: one period drama, one long horror movie

The Gilded Age is the reason to turn HBO on at 8pm ET/PT (7pm Central) on Monday. It is a historical drama with four series and 25 episodes so far, led by Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski, and it opens primetime on a night when the competition is Dancing with the Stars, FBI and a Disney Channel cartoon block. The channel clearly likes it: the show turns up through the small hours and again in the morning and afternoon.

What follows is thinner. Youth takes the 9pm slot for half an hour, a 2026 British comedy series that also fills gaps across the day. Then comes It, the 2017 horror movie, at 9:30pm ET. It runs 136 minutes, so it finishes after 11:45pm, and it is a heavy commitment for a school night. The 2017 film is a blunt but effective way to hold an audience through the back half of primetime.

Earlier, The Invite is on at 5:30pm ET, a 2026 comedy directed by Olivia Wilde, with Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton in the cast. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (S13E28) airs at 7:19pm ET, ahead of The Gilded Age, for anyone who missed it.
