How many episodes remain in Season 3 of 'The Gilded Age'?
Spoiler alert: This story includes details from episodes of Season 3 of "The Gilded Age."
As Season 3 of "The Gilded Age" reaches its mid-point, most of the characters find themselves at crossroads with challenging decisions to make, whether its Bertha (Carrie Coon) attempting to navigate Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) future or Marian (Louisa Jacobson) pondering over the future of her relationship with Larry (Harry Richardson).
HBO's lavish period drama, created by "Downton Abbey's" Julian Fellowes, returned for its third season on June 22 to record-high viewership. About 2.7 million U.S. viewers tuned in across platforms within the first three days of the season premiere, HBO said.
"The Gilded Age" follows high society and the battle between "old money" and "new money" in 1800s New York.
In the new season, the old guard is losing its powerful grip following the Opera War, while the Russells "stand poised to take their place at the head of society," according to the season synopsis.
"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 synopsis says, adding "across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house."
"As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear," it concludes.
Here is what to know ahead of the next episode of "The Gilded Age" Season 3, including its release date.

Princess Kate steps out at Wimbledon with Charlotte, George: See the pics
Princess Kate has stepped out again at Wimbledon − and she made it a family affair. The Princess of Wales, 43, attended the Wimbledon Championships' singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday, July 13, where she was joined by her husband, Prince William. Two of the royal couple's kids, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, also attended with them. Their youngest child, Prince Louis, 7, was absent. Kate chose a bright blue dress with a bold shoulder bow and a wide-brimmed straw hat for the match, while Charlotte wore a ruffled white dress piped in navy. The mother and daughter donned sunglasses and waved paper fans in the heat. Seal and Keira Knightley were among the celebrities also spotted in the crowd on July 13. Princess Kate at Wimbledon: The royal serves in white look, sits next to Billie Jean King This marked another appearance at Wimbledon for Kate, who on July 12 attended the women's singles final wearing a white ensemble. Sitting next to tennis legend Billie Jean King, Kate received a standing ovation from the crowd on July 12. She later said on Instagram that it was a "wonderful day," and she congratulated Iga Świątek on her "brilliant victory." Kate's Wimbledon appearances come after she was unexpectedly absent from Royal Ascot on June 18. She had been scheduled to attend the horse-racing event but did not appear. Instead, William stepped out at the event solo. Kate battled an unspecified form of cancer in 2024, and in January, she announced she was in remission. Kate said at that time that she was focusing on her recovery and that "as anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal." "I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead," she added at the time. "There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support." Princess Kate on life after cancer: A 'roller coaster' During a July 2 visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex, Kate spoke about the idea of patients needing to put on a "brave face" throughout treatment and reflected that when the treatment is finished, "the phase afterward is really, really difficult."

Why 'Superman' star Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor as 'alpha' cult leader
He steals dogs and murders innocents. He's a terrible boyfriend. He's also the worst boss ever. Yet for some reason, people seem to dig the megalomaniacal Lex Luthor in 'Superman.' The billionaire tech bro is the kind of baddie that Nicholas Hoult loves to play. With guys who 'are very mixed up in their ideologies,' he can bring some understanding to their malevolence. 'There's an element of making those characters not likable, but palatable maybe,' says the British actor, who joins the ranks of Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey and Jesse Eisenberg as on-screen Lexes. Hoult originally auditioned for Superman – a role that went to David Corenswet – but thought he might be a better Lex. Director James Gunn agreed: 'I waited for a couple weeks to let the rejection wear off and then I called him.' Then, Gunn surrounded Supes' arch nemesis with a number of colorful characters, including dangerous right-hand woman Angela Spica (María Gabriela de Faría), aka the Engineer, and Lex's influencer girlfriend Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio). And because it's a cult of personality, Lex's fearsome posse follows him wherever his shenanigans lead: 'He's this generous, loving guy who his employees love when he is feeling good,' Gunn says. 'But when he's feeling bad, we all know this guy.' Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor is mean but has some feels in 'Superman' Lex Luthor has been a staple in Superman comics since 1940, and Hoult found inspiration in those stories where he was an 'alpha' male offended by the hero just existing as an alien on Earth. 'Because he puts in so much hard work for what he's developing and himself, it's even more frustrating that Superman is just naturally gifted and lauded and applauded for his abilities,' Hoult says. He also saw Lex as 'a cult-like leader,' who amasses 'a lot of followers. Throughout the film you see him get picked apart and lose that, but he's managed to sculpt this image that people do like.' Gunn adds that Hoult brought a predatory energy to the character: The first time we see him waiting for Superman to show up, 'he is like a tiger in a cage pacing back and forth.' But there's a lot of emotion to Lex as well. In one key moment, a tear streams down his face. 'I never saw him as a psychopath,' Hoult says. 'He's just got this deep, ingrained fear and hatred. Toward the end of the film, you see his plan ruined and him humiliated" as he suffers "all these things that are painful." María Gabriela de Faría's Engineer makes a formidable Man of Steel enemy One of Lex's most lethal weapons is a living one: Transformed by nanotechnology, the Engineer is an unpredictable foe for Superman and other heroes. She can shift into various different forms – like turning her hands into saws – and can hack into any computer system, even one that's Kryptonian. 'How does it feel to connect to the machine?' de Faría says. 'Is it painful? Is it pleasurable? Does it tickle? Every time she turned herself into something, it felt different, which made it really fun for me and also more realistic because I had something to play with my actual body.' Like Lex, the Engineer is determined and willing to go to extremes to get what she wants, and she sees her boss as 'just means to an end,' de Faría says. 'She is deeply hurt by the world and she's deeply afraid of the path the world has taken. She has suffered the consequences for herself and she's willing to change it to make it better. 'Lex reacts and acts from envy and from being power-hungry,' the Venezuelan actress adds. 'Angela does it out of fear, and I don't know if acting out of fear is any better because we can see that they have the same consequences: pretty much destruction and pain and suffering.' As Eve Teschmacher, Sara Sampaio is Metropolis' selfie queen Eve Teschmacher isn't exactly menacing, but she is overly loyal to her man. And Eve has an auspicious screen debut, taking a selfie in the highest levels of LuthorCorp tower while Superman is getting smashed by a powerful enemy. 'She's like the playful part of me that I don't get to show the world very often,' says Sampaio, a Portuguese actress/model (and Victoria's Secret angel). Lex's gal pal "has this childlike wonder about her, where everything is new. She doesn't really understand what's appropriate, like when Superman is being beaten behind her. She's like, 'Oh, this is a great photo!' ' But Eve puts up with a lot. Her beau doesn't have the best history when it comes to girlfriends – most wind up imprisoned in an interdimensional pocket universe – and Lex is often seen throwing pencils at her. Sampaio came up with a backstory for her loyalty (she comes from a small city, for example, but not from wealth), though even Eve has a breaking point. 'Security, money and power can create safety in a way. She sees that Lex can provide a lifestyle for her (and) she won't have to struggle again,' Sampaio says. 'When she realizes that safety actually is not really there, she makes sure she always has a plan B, that she can escape and take care of herself. But I think everyone gets excited about handsome, powerful rich guys sometimes.'
