As Season 3 of “The Gilded Age” progresses, characters are facing significant turning points in their lives. Bertha Russell, played by Carrie Coon, is focusing on her daughter Gladys, portrayed by Taissa Farmiga, while Marian, portrayed by Louisa Jacobson, is reconsidering her relationship with Larry, played by Harry Richardson.
The highly acclaimed period drama from HBO and Julian Fellowes, known for “Downton Abbey,” made a grand return on June 22, garnering record viewership with approximately 2.7 million U.S. viewers tuning in within the first three days of its premiere.
Set in 1800s New York, “The Gilded Age” delves into the tension between established “old money” and the incoming “new money.” In this season, significant shifts occur after the Opera War, as the Russells are poised to ascend in societal ranks. The season synopsis hints at ambitious plots: Bertha aims for a goal that could elevate her family’s status, while George, her husband, risks everything on a transformative venture in the railroad industry. This tension is mirrored in the Brook household, where chaos erupts following Agnes’s resistance to Ada’s new role as the lady of the house.
As viewers prepare for the next episode, scheduled to air on July 13, they can look forward to more of the drama that intertwines ambition with the potential loss of what truly matters.
