Unexpected News For The Gilded Age Season 3 With Carrie Coon & Morgan Spector Release Date
What will Season 3 of The Gilded Age explore?
The third season hints at significant changes in New York society, suggesting that the old guard is giving way to new dynamics.
Baranski indicated that her character Agnes van Rhijn will face new challenges following the season 2 finale. “She is suddenly not in charge anymore, and you can see the impact of how season 2 wrapped up. This proud woman, used to her position, is finding herself in a new role,” Baranski explained to Deadline. “Experiencing her fall from grace is quite interesting to portray, and it can lead to some humorous moments as she navigates this shift.”
The actress also mentioned that season 3 promises to be just as eventful as its predecessor, with plenty of room for growth given the considerable transformations happening.
Coon shared that while a third season wasn’t guaranteed, the audience interest in season 2 made it possible. She also hinted at Bertha’s situation in the new season. “She feels secure in her standing in New York. And of course, by the end of season two, we saw her focused on marrying off her daughter to the right match,” Coon told Deadline. “Bertha will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, though there might be some repercussions.”
What transpired in Season 2 of The Gilded Age?
Key moments to remember from the end of season 2 include Bertha’s triumph in the Opera House conflict, where she secured a guest appearance from Ben Lamb’s Duke of Buckingham at the Metropolitan Opera House. Meanwhile, her husband, George Russell, faced labor strikes among his railroad workers; although he made some concessions, the struggle isn’t over.
Ada (Nixon) experienced tragedy with the death of her husband, Reverend Matthew Forte (Robert Sean Leonard). However, she managed to save Agnes by coming into an inheritance, altering the household dynamics. Oscar van Rhijn (Blake Ritson) has fallen into debt, and the new romantic interest, Maude Beaton (Nicole Brydon Bloom), turned out to be less than she claimed.
Marian Brook turned down a proposal from Dashiell Montgomery (David Furr), but later shared a tender kiss with Larry Russell (Harry Richardson).
