HBO officially renewed The Gilded Age for a third season just days after the season two finale aired. Season two, which premiered on October 29, 2023, earned a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The second season’s finale drew in the largest audience in the show’s history.

“We’re so proud of what Julian Fellowes and The Gilded Age family have achieved. From the costumes to the production design and performances, the show has captivated so many week after week. Along with our partners at Universal Television, we are thrilled to continue this grand tale for a third season,” stated Francesca Orsi, EVP, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films.

Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, and Cynthia Nixon lead a cast that includes Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton, Ben Ahlers, and Michael Cerveris. The ensemble also includes Kelley Curran, Taissa Farmiga, Jack Gilpin, Simon Jones, Sullivan Jones, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Debra Monk, and Donna Murphy.

Season two also featured Kristine Nielsen, Kelli O’Hara, Patrick Page, Harry Richardson, Taylor Richardson, Blake Ritson, Douglas Sills, Erin Wilhelmi, and Nathan Lane. Audra McDonald, John Douglas Thompson, Ashlie Atkinson, Laura Benanti, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Christopher Denham, David Furr, Ward Horton, Matilda Lawler, and Robert Sean Leonard also starred.

“There is much more story to tell with The Gilded Age. We’re delighted that HBO is giving fans another season of Julian Fellowes’ incredible storytelling. The cast and crew put so much of their heart and soul into the last two seasons, and we’re so proud that all this hard work is paying off with another season… you won’t want to miss what’s next!” said Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television.

Julian Fellowes created the series and serves as writer and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Gareth Neame, David Crockett, Bob Greenblatt, and Salli Richardson-Whitfield. Michael Engler directs and executive produces, and Sonja Warfield writes and executive produces.

“The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand-new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost. Season two of The Gilded Age begins on Easter morning 1883, with the news that Bertha Russell’s bid for a box at the Academy of Music has been rejected,” reads HBO’s official synopsis. “Through the eight episodes of the season, we watch as Bertha challenges Mrs. Astor and the old system and works to not only gain a foothold in Society, but to potentially take a leading role in it.

George Russell takes on his own battle with a growing union at his steel plant in Pittsburgh. In the Brook House, Marian continues her journey to find her way in the world secretly teaching at a girls school while much to everyone’s surprise Ada begins a new courtship. Of course, Agnes approves of none of it. In Brooklyn, the Scott family begins to heal from a shocking discovery, and Peggy taps into her activist spirit through her work with T. Thomas Fortune at the NY Globe.”
