The Gilded Age just keeps reaching new heights as it heads toward its Season 3 finale.

The penultimate episode drew 4.6M viewers in the three days since it debuted on HBO on Sunday, setting another series record, per Warner Bros. Discovery. This is now the fourth consecutive week that the third season has managed a new series high audience.

Ahead of Sunday’s finale, the show is apparently drawing in new viewers at a record pace. The company says that The Gilded Age is currently adding viewers at a rate nearly 50% higher than in previous seasons.

Of course, newcomers are playing catch up, so much of this viewership is actually boosting the previous seasons, too. Wbd says that Season 1 viewership was up approximately 30% last week compared to the same week leading into last season’s Episode 7.

This bodes incredibly well for the show’s fourth season, as it has already received a renewal from HBO.

Another week, another viewership high for “The Gilded Age.”

For the third week in a row, the HBO period drama has set another viewership record. The sixth episode of the show’s third season reached 4.5 million multi-platform viewers in its first three days of availability. That is up from 4 million for episode five in the same timeframe.

Per HBO, Season 3 is now outpacing Season 2 by 25% in viewers, while every episode of the third season has delivered audience growth. The Season 3 finale is scheduled to air Aug. 10. The news comes just a few days after it was announced that HBO had renewed the show for a fourth season.

The expansive ensemble cast of the series includes: Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton, Taissa Farmiga, Harry Richardson, Blake Ritson, Ben Ahlers, Ashlie Atkinson, Dylan Baker, Kate Baldwin, Victoria Clark, John Ellison Conlee, Michael Cumpsty, Kelley Curran,...

The Gilded Agehas been renewed for Season 4! Announced this morning, HBO revealed that for five consecutive weeks, the viewership of the series has continued to grow throughout its Season 3 and earned the series a significant growth in viewership compared to Season 2. Fans have also been talking a lot more about The Gilded Age on social media! The hit HBO series stars Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, and more in a new series from Julian Fellows. Along with Coon, Baranski, and Nixon, the cast includes Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton, Taissa Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and more!

The news comes after the series put out one of its most shocking episodes yet. Fans were disappointed to see a fan-favorite character meet their match in Season 3 when tensions were high all around. But the upset over the show's loss shows just how dedicated fans are to the series.

“The Gilded Age” has been renewed for Season 4 at HBO, Variety has learned.

The renewal news comes as the period drama has aired six of the eight episodes in its third season. The Season 3 finale is scheduled to air Aug. 10.

“We couldn’t be prouder of the undeniable viewership heights ‘The Gilded Age’ as achieved this season,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO Drama Series and Films. “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.”

Per HBO, premiere-night viewing for third season has grown for five consecutive weeks. The series is up 20% percent in viewership compared to last season, and has hit series highs for two consecutive weeks.

HBO has handed a Season 4 renewal to Julian Fellowes’ period drama The Gilded Age. The pickup comes ahead of the Season 3 finale on August 10, which will wrap some storylines while setting up more drama and intrigue.

The Gilded Age, which leans into the New York theater community for its strong — and expansive — ensemble cast, has been a true word-of-mouth phenomenon. Launching on HBO’s lower-profile Monday night, it defied the odds and drew a solid viewership to earn a Season 2 renewal. Moving to HBO’s marquee Sunday night, The Gilded Age has been on an upswing since, finding a new gear with its current third season.

Premiere-night viewing has grown for five consecutive weeks, with Episode 5 drawing a new series high of 4 million U.S. cross-platform viewers within its first three days of availability. It was accompanied by a new weekly viewership high on HBO Max. Season-to-season, The Gilded Age...

All that’s gilded is gold, it turns out. HBO’s period drama “The Gilded Age” has hit another viewership high.

Per HBO, the fifth episode of the show’s third season reached 4 million viewers in Live+3 viewing. That beats the previous series high set just last week with episode four’s 3.8 million viewers.

“The Gilded Age” had found love with critics since its debut, but did not start off strong in the ratings. It has slowly built its audience over its three seasons via word of mouth, with this season being the most popular yet by far.

Broadway actor Jordan Donica’s arrival as Dr. William Kirkland has spiced up Peggy Scott’s love life on The Gilded Age.

What started as a house call to treat his mentor’s daughter from a debilitating cold has blossomed into one of the HBO’s hit period drama’s hottest romances. Since his introduction in episode two (“What the Papers Say”), Dr. Kirkland has become a fixture. Peggy (a role Denée Benton has made a fan-favorite) and her mother Dorothy’s (Audra McDonald) visit to their cousin Athena (Jessica Frances Dukes) in Newport, Rhode Island, where his family has long maintained a home, in episode three (“Love Is Never Easy’) solidified his presence. From the moment Dr. Kirkland knew Peggy was nearby, he reached out with a letter requesting permission to “call on her.” That led to a romantic get-to-know-you stroll, parasol and all, by the...

A new behind-the-scenes video has been released for The Gilded Age, featuring interviews with cast members and Broadway alums Audra McDonald, Phylicia Rashad, Denée Benton, and Jordan Donica. These stars, along with executive producers from the show, discuss the exploration of Black elite social dynamics as presented in the series. Taking place in the 1880s, Season 3 introduces the Kirkland family, played by Rashad, Donica, and Brian Stokes Mitchell. Their portrayal contrasts with the Scotts, offering a nuanced look at the Black experience during the Gilded Age. "It's important that we have the Scotts and the Kirklands engage with one another because it allows us a different portal into the Black elite," says co-executive producer Erica Armstrong...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 3, “Love Is Never Easy.”] The Gilded Age portrays the Black elite of 1880s New York City in a way never before seen on TV, and Season 3 has allowed the HBO period drama to dive into its most nuanced depiction of this society yet through the inclusion of colorism and intersectional feminism storylines. Episode 3, which aired on Sunday, July 6, began Peggy Scott (Denée Benton) and Dr. William Kirkland’s (Jordan Donica) courtship, leading to each of their families meeting at a party in Newport, Rhode Island. Played by Phylicia Rashad, Mrs. Kirkland is essentially the Mrs. Astor (Donna Murphy) of this community, meaning she has extremely high expectations for her son’s future marriage. Her husband, Mr. Kirkland, is played by Brian Stokes Mitchell. The Kirklands and Scotts first meeting marked a reunion for Audra McDonald (Mrs. Scott) and Mitchell, who costarred in the original Broadway...

“The Gilded Age” hard-launched a new romantic interest for Peggy Scott, bringing a whole family of baggage along with him.

Sparks flew almost immediately between Peggy (Denée Benton) and Dr. William Kirkland (Jordan Donica) after he treated her severe case of pneumonia earlier in Season 3. But a trip to the beach town of Newport in Episode 3, titled “Love Is Never Easy,” sealed the start of their courtship after the doctor invited Peggy on a walk along the cliffs.

“That was such a beautiful day, truly, because it actually does look as stunning as it does in the episode,” Benton told TheWrap of filming the idyllic first date. “To see it with us in those really vibrant costumes, and all the other Black couples and their costumes like eating grapes and sitting, it was transporting.”

Created by Downton Abbey boss Julian Fellowes with Sonja Warfield and directed by Michael Engler, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Deborah Kampmeier and Crystle Robertson Dorsey, the period drama centers on two families — one old money and one new money — as they navigate New York society at a significant turn of the century for which the show is named.

With its ballroom doors swinging open again, HBO’s The Gilded Age returns for a third season on 22 June, carrying the story from Manhattan to Newport, Rhode Island, where filming inside landmarks such as Marble House and Rosecliff gives the resort its biggest screen role yet.

Season two’s moderate but steady audience—0.05 in adults 18-49 and 643,000 same-day viewers—convinced HBO to green-light a new run the morning after last year’s finale.

Creator Julian Fellowes and co-showrunner Sonja Warfield now explore what happens after society’s gates swing shut behind the ambitious, focusing on marriages, money and a divorce that could spell social ruin in a world where no-fault separation is still decades away.

The HBO historical drama The Gilded Agerises up the popularity charts just ahead of its long-awaited return.

Per Flix Patrol, the popular HBO period drama The Gilded Age has rapidly risen to HBO's #5 most streamed show. The show had held the #10 spot the previous day before quickly jumping five spots as of June 21st. This boost in streaming comes in anticipation of the release of the series' highly anticipated Season 3.

Created by Julian Fellowes, also known for creating Downton Abbey, one of the most well-known and acclaimed British period dramas of all time, The Gilded Age makes its way to America during the titular time period. Taking place in 1880s New York City, the show follows Marian Brook (played by Louisa Jacobson), a young woman forced to live with her estranged "old money" aunts, Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon). The Rhijn-Brook family is in conflict with the new-money Russell family,...

The Gilded Ageprovides plenty of drama, ambition, and romance even as it explores the lavish lives of the elite members of New York society in the 1880s. There is much to get into with these high-class individuals as they scheme and plot to gain advantages where applicable. The show is headed towards a third season which is set to premiere this summer and there will be lots of relationships that need sorting out. From the budding romance between Marian (Louisa Jacobson) and Larry (Harry Richardson), the heartwarming dynamic established between Mrs. Bruce (Celia Keenan-Bolger) and Mr. Borden (Douglas Sills), and the beautiful and tragic marriage of Ada (Cynthia Nixon) and Luke Forte (Robert Sean Leonard), romance is certainly going to be on the burner when the series returns for Season 3.

Despite all these other intriguing and complex romances, none quite lit things up in The Gilded Age scene, like George...

“The Gilded Age” is ushering in a new era. The third season of the beloved HBO series marks the start of Bertha’s (Carrie Coon) reign. She already has secured her status as the patron saint of the Metropolitan Opera: Can she now have the approval of the old money elites?

The Season 3 logline reads: “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 you’ll see in the just-released trailer above, big changes are in store for HBO’s The Gilded Age when it returns for Season 3 (June 22, 9/8c) — and Agnes van Rhijn isn’t happy about any of them.

For starters, Marian and Larry are still going strong, following their initial lip lock in the Season 2 finale. The trailer above features lots of stolen glances and clandestine kisses between the two — and even talk of marriage! “Some people want to marry for love,” Marian says. “I know I do.”

The beloved HBO series “The Gilded Age” is back for Season 3. The Emmy-nominated drama from “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes promises just as operatic of a season as its predecessors. And as ensemble star Carrie Coon is fresh off her viral turn on “The White Lotus,” it seems as though “The Gilded Age” will get an extra boost of fandom.

The Season 3 logline reads: “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.

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.

Season 3 of “The Gilded Age” will officially debut on June 22 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt on HBO and streaming on Max. In the teaser, Mrs. Russell (Carrie Coon) appears to tell her daughter, Gladys (Taissa Farmiga), that “Marriage is a real opportunity.” Fans of the show will recall that Season 2 ended with Mrs. Russell promising her daughter’s hand in marriage to the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb), but it seems that Gladys is none too happy about the betrothal.

HBO is promising more high-society unrest in season three of The Gilded Age.

The network has set a June 22 premiere date released a first teaser for the drama’s forthcoming season. The teaser shows Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) sticking to her “too much is never enough” ethos and preparing to marry off her daughter, Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) — a prospect which, judging by Farmiga’s expression in a few shots in the minute-long clip, doesn’t excite Gladys very much.

Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson), meanwhile, expresses an opposite view: “Some people want to marry for love. I know I do,” she says — to which her aunt Agnes (Christine Baranski) replies, “I don’t understand.” Watch the teaser below.

The season logline for season three of The Gilded Age reads, “Following the Opera War, the old guard is weakened and the Russells stand poised to take their place at the head of society.

Jack Waddell, a former opera singer who became a beloved and revered vocal coach for such Broadway stars as Brian Stokes Mitchell, Jessica Vosk and Brandon Victor Dixon, died January 1 at his home in Bloomington, Illinois, under the care of friends. He was 83.

His passing was announced by students Dixon, Vosk and Owen Rozanski. A cause of death was not immediately available.

Born John A. Waddell on March 31, 1941, in Bloomington, Illinois, Waddell enjoyed a decades-long career in music, and was honored by the American Theatre Wing as an “Unsung Hero of Broadway” in 2023. At the organization’s gala that year, he was introduced by Dixon.

Those actors scurrying around at the festival in Palm Springs would have been better served witnessing masterclasses in artistry from Viola Davis and Ted Danson, the recipients of Golden Globes honors on Friday night.

Streep spoke of her first meeting with Davis. It was when the two women met at the table read for the screen version of John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Doubt.

Streep admitted that that she’d been a little out of sorts because playwright Tony Kushner had hailed Davis as his “favorite actor in the whole world.”

But then Streep sat opposite Davis at the read-through, with Amy Adams and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, and saw exactly what Kushner had meant.

Stephen King is a horror genre staple, and he often recommends TV shows or movies that he enjoys. He's best known for iconic horror novels such as The Shining and It, and has remained in the public spotlight for his books and adaptations of his work. Stephen King even has another book on the way, continuing a legacy that has scared readers for decades.

Because of his reputation in the horror genre, many trust his recommendations for different works, whether they be novels, TV shows, or even films. The genres of his recommendations often vary, but horror still seems to be the most consistent. Though many of King's books could still use sequels, his recommended shows such as Cabinet of Curiosities and Midnight Mass will have to do in the meantime.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead for Evil After four seasons, the supernatural crime drama Evil came to a close this past August with a series finale that left fans wanting more.
