HBO has announced the premiere date for the highly anticipated Season 3 of “The Gilded Age,” along with unveiling the first teaser for the period drama. The new season is set to debut on June 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and streaming on Max. In the teaser, Mrs. Russell, played by Carrie Coon, is seen telling her daughter, Gladys, portrayed by Taissa Farmiga, that “Marriage is a real opportunity.” This hints at the ongoing storyline from Season 2, where Mrs. Russell promised Gladys’ hand in marriage to the Duke of Buckingham, played by Ben Lamb, but Gladys seems reluctant about the betrothal.
The official description for Season 3 teases an intriguing storyline. Following the Opera War, the old guard is weakened, and the Russells are poised to take their place at the head of society. Bertha sets her sights on a prize that could elevate the family to new heights, while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry. Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada’s new position as the lady of the house. Peggy meets a handsome doctor from Newport, but his family is less than enthusiastic about her career. As New York rushes towards the future, ambition may come at a cost to what truly matters.
The cast of Season 3 is star-studded and includes Louisa Jacobson, Harry Richardson, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, and many more talented actors. The show, created by Julian Fellowes, also features notable names like Andrea Martin, Audra McDonald, Nathan Lane, and Phylicia Rashad.
