HBO Renews Original Drama Series “The Gilded Age” for a Fourth Season

The Emmy®-nominated HBO Original drama series THE GILDED AGE has been renewed for a fourth season. From creator Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey”), HBO’s THE GILDED AGE has achieved praise for its ensemble cast, costume design, and Emmy®-winning production design. The season three finale will air on Sunday, August 10 (9:00-10:00PM ET/PT) and all episodes are available to stream on HBO Max.

Season 3 of THE GILDED AGE has received critical acclaim, with both Variety and Entertainment Weekly proclaiming this season as “the best yet,” while Vulture called it a “must-watch.” In its two-eligible seasons, THE GILDED AGE has earned 7 total Emmy® nominations and 1 Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.”

Francesca Orsi, EVP, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films, quote: “We couldn’t be prouder of the undeniable viewership heights THE GILDED AGE has achieved this season. Transporting us to 1880s New York City, Julian Fellowes and the enormously talented cast and crew have created a “cant-miss it” entertainment experience from week to week, and we’re delighted to continue exploring these characters’ grand ambitions for what we promise will be a thrilling fourth season.”

Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television, quote: “Thanks to Julian and the phenomenally talented cast and crew, each season of THE GILDED AGE delivers stories rich in drama and history, stellar performances and stunning production value. Every moment spent in this world and with these characters only deepens our love for the show, and we’re so happy that our partners at HBO and audiences around the world are clamoring for more.”

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic and social change, when empires were built, but no victory came without sacrifice. Following the Opera War, the old guard is weakened, and the Russells stand poised to take their place at the head of society. Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry – if it doesn’t ruin him first. Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada’s new position as lady of the house. Peggy meets a handsome doctor from Newport whose family is less than enthusiastic about her career. As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear.
