It's official, the HBO's period drama series The Gilded Age will have a third season. Following the highly praised first two installments, the network celebrated the continuation of the plot that chronicles the social and economic tensions in the United States at the end of the 19th century. The news comes after the conclusion of the broadcast of the second batch of episodes on December 17. The decision represents a renewed competition against Bridgerton (Netflix), which is about to launch its third season, and The Buccaneers (Apple TV+), which announced its new episodes a few days ago.
In the second season, fiction covers themes such as economic change and class struggle, beginning on Easter morning in 1883. Characters such as Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) and George Russell (Morgan Spector) face important challenges both in high society and in the industrial sphere. Both have been instrumental in showing the social and economic dynamics of the time. The series has stood out for its attention to detail in production, costuming and performances achieved by a cast that includes actors of the stature of Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Louisa Jacobson and Denée Benton, among others.
The Gilded Age has been well received by critics and audiences alike, thanks to its gripping narrative and accurate depiction of a period of great change in American society, an era marked by rapid economic growth and profound social conflict.
HBO Executive Vice President of Programming Francesca Orsi and Universal Television President Erin Underhill expressed their enthusiasm for further developing the story created by Julian Fellowes.
The news of the renewal has made the fans of the series very happy. As more episodes of The Gilded Age arrive, you can enjoy the series on HBO Max.
