The Gilded Age Season 3, premiering June 22, 2025, on HBO and Max, dives deeper into the glittering yet ruthless world of 1880s New York. Carrie Coon’s Bertha Russell pushes her nouveau riche empire to new heights, clashing with Christine Baranski’s unyielding old-money matriarch, Agnes van Rhijn, in a cutthroat battle for social dominance. Louisa Jacobson’s Marian Brook navigates love and independence, caught between family loyalty and a budding romance with Larry Russell (Harry Richardson).

The season explores divorce, arranged marriages, and power shifts, with Bertha’s risky social gambits and George Russell’s (Morgan Spector) bold railroad venture threatening their empire. New faces like Phylicia Rashad and Merritt Wever add fresh drama, while lavish costumes and sharp writing amplify Julian Fellowes’ tale of ambition and betrayal.
