'The Gilded Age' Renewed for Third Season by HBO

The period drama, praised for its portrayal of late 19th-century New York City, will return following high viewership for its season 2 finale.

HBO has renewed 'The Gilded Age' for a third season, just days after the season 2 finale.
The period drama, created by Julian Fellowes, has received rave reviews and high viewership, culminating in a series high for the season 2 finale.
The show follows the clash of old and new money in New York City in the late 1800s, with a large ensemble cast featuring Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, and Morgan Spector among others.
Season 2 picked up on Easter morning 1883, with Bertha Russell's bid for a box at the Academy of Music being rejected, leading to her challenging Mrs. Astor and the old system.
Despite the large ensemble cast and high production costs, the show's strong performance and viewership have led to its renewal.
