Was this pilot an earlier attempt at "Gilded Age" that ended up on HBO or a completely separate thing?

A quick google shows it was Shonda Rhimes does Downton in the US starring Captain Jack Harkness.

Julian Fellowes wasn't involved, so it wasn't the actual Downton prequel that morphed into The Gilded Age.

Yeah, as far as I remember it really was just an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of downton Abby but in America.
