The Gilded Age Season 3 Release Date: Is it even happening?

Fans have been speculating over The Gilded Age Season 3 release date, now that season 2 is approaching its end with the finale episode set to air on December 17.

‘The Gilded Age’ created by Julian Fellowes debuted in 2022 on original Network NBC and returned with season 2 on HBO in 2023, only after a short span. Keeping this in mind, the viewers have been fearing that since no official announcement has been made about its renewal yet, it could mean the end of the show.

But that's just speculation, one that the fans would like to see proved wrong.

Here we are with all the latest news about the renewal of The Gilded Age Season 3 that you must know.

Will there be ‘The Gilded Age’ Season 3?

As of December 2023, there has been no official announcement of the renewal of the show. But this does not necessarily point to the end of the show since the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike could be behind the delay. This could be true because many shows have been affected by the strike, resulting in delays in the release of their seasons and episodes. If this is the reason, then we would have to wait a longer period for any renewal announcement.

The Gilded Age Season 3 Latest News

Considering the makers and writers of the show, there has not been any clue that they are done with the storyline. They did admit in an interview that they do take into consideration factors like reception, viewership, and performance before going ahead with the next season.

So, maybe the wait is for season 2 to end and to assess its performance. Maybe once the current season 2 ends, that’s on December 17, we can expect an announcement from the officials, ending this debate on the renewal of the show.

Also, considering the storyline of The Gilded Age, which is predominantly set in the Gilded Age in New York, often capturing main events from the past, the makers have a lot to show in the upcoming seasons. So, they are definitely not short of stories, so now the weight seems to shift to the performance of season 2 in deciding whether the show will get a renewal or not.

The Gilded Age Season 3 Expected Cast

There has not been any announcement for the official release date yet, but if the renewal happens at all, we can expect some of the main cast to come back in Gilded Age Season 3. Also, the show has cast many veteran actors in the first two seasons.

Though there can be some exits based on the plot of the next season, we can expect some of the main cast to return in the next season if it gets renewed. The Scott and Russell family, along with Marian and Agnes, will most probably be there since they have had the main part in the previous seasons.

Here's the cast of season 2, which we can expect in season 3 as well.

• Carrie Coon as Bertha Russell
• Cynthia Nixon as Ada Brook
• Denée Benton as Peggy Scott
• Louisa Jacobson as Marian Brook
• Morgan Spector as George Russell
• Harry Richardson as Larry Russell
• Taissa Farmiga as Gladys Russell

The Gilded Age Season 3 Plot

Since season 3 is not confirmed, there's no confirmed news about the plot for the next season. But based on the ending of season 2, we can expect season 3 to cover yet another important historical event from America that happened in the gilded age, intertwined in the lives of the Russell and Scott families.

More can be speculated upon once the finale episode of season 2 comes out.

As for the core storyline of The Gilded Age, it revolves around the lives of two women, Bertha and Marian, who live in America in the late 19th century, a period that saw a boom in economic and industrialization in the history of America.

Bertha is an ambitious woman who is calculative and strategic and is set to acclaim wealth and status for her family in society.

Martha, who is not originally from a wealthy background, ends up in a wealthy society through her aunt Agnes van Rhijn.

The series captures the lives of the two women as they navigate highs and lows in their lives, go through the complexities of high society and power, and experience the differences that come with different genders and classes.

Summary

This is all speculation and possibility for the next season since there’s no confirmed news yet. We will provide complete information about the Gilded Age Season 3 release date once it’s official and confirmed.
