HBO will continue chronicling The Gilded Age.
The period drama from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has scored a third season renewal at HBO. The pickup comes just four days after The Gilded Age’s second season finale on Dec. 17.
“We’re so proud of what Julian Fellowes and The Gilded Age family have achieved,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vp HBO Programming and head of HBO Drama Series and Films. “From the costumes to the production design and performances, the show has captivated so many week after week. Along with our partners at Universal Television, we are thrilled to continue this grand tale for a third season.”
The series chronicles the clash of old and new money — and old and new ways of living — in New York City in the late 1800s. The sprawling cast features Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton, Ben Ahlers, Michael Cerveris, Kelley Curran, Taissa Farmiga, Jack Gilpin, Simon Jones, Sullivan Jones, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Debra Monk, Donna Murphy, Kristine Nielsen, Kelli O’Hara, Patrick Page, Harry Richardson, Taylor Richardson, Blake Ritson, Douglas Sills, Erin Wilhelmi, Nathan Lane, Audra McDonald, John Douglas Thompson, Ashlie Atkinson, Laura Benanti, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Christopher Denham, David Furr, Ward Horton, Matilda Lawler and Robert Sean Leonard.
“There is much more story to tell with The Gilded Age. We’re delighted that HBO is giving fans another season of Julian Fellowes’ incredible storytelling,” said Universal TV president Erin Underhill. “The cast and crew put so much of their heart and soul into the last two seasons, and we’re so proud that all this hard work is paying off with another season. You won’t want to miss what’s next.”
The Gilded Age is a co-production of HBO and Universal TV. Fellowes created the long-developing series (which was initially set up at NBC before moving to HBO) and executive produces with Gareth Neame, David Crockett, director Michael Engler, Bob Greenblatt, writer Sonja Warfield and Salli Richardson-Whitfield.
