The Gilded Age season 3 has officially confirmed its release date on Max. The historical drama series tells the story of the relationship and tensions between the Russell family and the Rhijn family during the 1880s in high society in New York City. The series was created by Julian Fellowes and features a leading cast including Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Denée Benton, Cynthia Nixon, Louisa Jacobson, Taissa Farmiga, Harry Richardson, and Simon Jones. The series began in 2022 and its second season was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series.
Now, Max has revealed The Gilded Age season 3 release date in their new trailer. The series will return on Sunday, June 22, at 9pm EST. The trailer opens by Bertha Russell (Coon) talking about “well-ordered life” and wishing for marriage for Gladys, noting how influential marriage can be on politics and world events. Text on screen reads “In the new world, love can conquer all, or cost you everything,” hinting at the themes of the upcoming season.
What This Means For The Gilded Age
Season 3 Will Be All About Love
The Sunday 9pm slot is significant when it comes to Max shows. This is typically the spot the network gives to its most highly watched and successful shows. This year, that spot was given to The White Lotus season 3 and is currently being occupied by The Last of Us season 2. The latter title wraps up towards the end of May, clearing the way for new titles to take over, which in this case will be The Gilded Age. This says something about how much faith HBO is putting into this new season.
Thematically, The Gilded Age season 3 trailer leans heavily into love and marriage as a central theme in the upcoming season. Pretty early on, it is established that there is a sharp generational divide in terms of who views marriage as a political act and who sees it moreso as an act of love. The text on screen implies that some level of danger could work in tandem with love, as the person one chooses to love could end up costing them “everything.”
Our Take On The Gilded Age Release Date
The Gilded Age Has Grown In Success Over The Years
The Gilded Age had a quieter start when it released its debut season in 2022. It started out in a Monday night spot, and was nominated for only a single Emmy over the course of its first season. From there, its cast began to be recognized more, allowing the show to maintain its Sunday spot between seasons 2 and season 3. With Coon just recently coming off of a role in the successful third season of The White Lotus, The Gilded Age season 3 has even more chance at success, marking a hopeful future for the series.
