The Gilded Age season 3 just added loads of new cast members
After a year-and-a-half break, The Gilded Age returned for season two last October, which meant more drama, more love stories, more beautifully over-the-top mansions, and more Carrie Coon being viciously sassy as new money socialite Bertha Russell.
But, after such a long wait for the second season, it's only natural to already wonder what lies ahead. Will there be a third season of The Gilded Age? Will the wait be as long again? Who will return if it does happen?
They're all valid questions. Unfortunately, though, we don't have answers to everything involving a potential third season just yet, but here's what we know about The Gilded Age season 3 so far.
Is The Gilded Age coming back for season 3?
The Gilded Age was officially confirmed to return back in December 2023, according to Deadline, which absolutely delighted viewers since it was only a few days after the season 2 premiere.
When will The Gilded Age season 3 come out?
In August 2024, HBO confirmed that the series will come back in 2025. In the UK, the show airs on Sky Atlantic and NOW, and will also air next year - though nothing more specific than that has been confirmed.
But while we're absolutely dying for more episodes, at least they were kind of enough to give us a special glimpse at Marian and Larry looking very cozy together, while Bertha has some other things on her mind...
Who's in The Gilded Age season 3 cast?
You guessed it: There's no way to know! How fun! What we do know for this question, is that all of the main cast members returned for season 2, except for Thomas Cocquerel, who played the extremely untrustworthy Tom Raikes — aka the guy who stood up Marian (Louisa Jacobson) when they were supposed to elope. According to Deadline, 13 recurring cast members — including ones who play members of the household staffs — were promoted to series regulars:
Kelli O’Hara as socialite Aurora Fane
Donna Murphy as society leader Mrs. Astor
Debra Monk as Van Rhijn’s lady’s maid Armstrong
Kristine Nielsen as cook Mrs. Bauer
Taylor Richardson as housemaid Bridget
Ben Ahlers as footman Jack Trotter
Kelley Curran as Bertha Russell’s former lady’s maid Turner
Douglas Sills as chef Baudin aka Borden
Celia Keenan-Bolger as housekeeper Mrs. Bruce
Michael Cerveris as valet Watson
Erin Wilhelmi as housemaid Adelheid Weber
Patrick Page as secretary Richard Claym
Sullivan Jones as publisher T. Thomas Fortune
Variety also revealed there will be new characters joining the cast, including:
Mrs. Elizabeth Kirkland as "a woman from a prominent family in Newport with ties dating back to the American Revolution who has high standards and an occasionally sharp tongue."
Brian Stokes Mitchell as her husband, Frederick Kirkland, "a pastor at a powerful Black church in the Newport community."
Jordan Donica will star as their son, Dr. William Kirkland.
Victoria Clark as Joan Carlton, a woman from “the old money side of New York high society.”
The Hollywood Reporter then announced a number of new additions too
Merritt Wever as Monica Monica O’Brien, Bertha Russell’s estranged sister
Bill Camp as JP Morgan, who will clash with George Russell
Leslie Uggams as Mrs. Ernestine Brown, a friend of Elizabeth Kirkland
Lisa Gay Hamilton as Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
