Is ‘The Gilded Age' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
Everyone's hooked on The Gilded Age, HBO's glamorous look at 1880s New York. With Season 3 just wrapped in August 2025, folks are itching to know—will there be a Season 4? Here's what we know so far about the next season. Has The Gilded Age Season 4 Been Greenlit?
Good news! HBO gave the thumbs-up for Season 4 on July 28, 2025, just before Season 3's big finale. The show's killing it—Season 3 viewership jumped 20% from Season 2, with Episode 5 pulling in 4 million viewers in three days. Fans on social media are going wild, with posts about the show spiking nearly 60% week after week. HBO's drama boss, Francesca Orsi, called it a 'must-watch' and promised Season 4 will bring more thrills. When's The Gilded Age Season 4 Hitting Screens?
No exact date yet, but past seasons give a hint. Season 1 kicked off in January 2022, Season 2 hit in October 2023, and Season 3 landed in June 2025 after some strike delays. It usually takes about 18 months to make a season, so late 2026 or early 2027 seems like a safe bet for the premiere. Patience is key, but those jaw-dropping mansions and scandals are worth waiting for. Who's Coming Back for The Gilded Age Season 4?
The cast is a huge draw, and most of the big names should return. Expect to see Carrie Coon as the ambitious Bertha Russell, Christine Baranski as the sharp-tongued Agnes van Rhijn, Cynthia Nixon as the sweet Ada Brook, and Louisa Jacobson as the determined Marian Brook. Denée Benton's Peggy Scott, Taissa Farmiga's Gladys Russell, and Harry Richardson's Larry Russell are also likely to be back, stirring up trouble in high society.
One big question mark is Morgan Spector's George Russell, who got shot in Season 3's second-to-last episode. Nobody knows if he'll pull through, and fans are freaking out. Sadly, Claybourne Elder's John Adams is gone for good after a tragic carriage crash in Season 3, Episode 6. New characters might pop up, especially since the show loves casting theater stars. Carrie Coon told Playbill the set feels like a Broadway production, so some fresh faces could shake things up. What's the Plot for The Gilded Age Season 4?
Details are hush-hush, but Season 4 will probably dig into the fallout from Season 3's wild ending. Bertha Russell's choice to marry her daughter Gladys to the Duke of Buckingham put a serious strain on her marriage to George. That tension could be a big focus, with their power-couple status on shaky ground.
Peggy Scott's engagement to Dr. William Kirkland is another storyline to watch, especially with challenges like class and race in the mix. Marian Brook and Larry Russell's romance also took a big step with their engagement, so expect some wedding drama. Julian Fellowes says he likes to shake things up each season, so new scandals and maybe even a trip to England could be in store, thanks to Gladys's new British connection.

‘Robert Shaw': Wobbly Biography of the ‘Jaws' Star
In Chapter 7 of Christopher Shaw Myers's new book, 'Robert Shaw: An Actor's Life on the Set of Jaws and Beyond,' Nelson Mandela pays a visit to an apartheid-era South African school during the mid-1950s. What does this have to do with Robert Shaw, who played Quint in the 1975 film 'Jaws'? Well, Mandela engaged in conversation with the actor's sister Joanna, who was teaching at a blacks-only school in South Africa at the time. That's the big problem with this new biography. While the title suggests an in-depth consideration of the great British actor and writer's work on the landmark film, the book is a bait and switch. It places a very heavy emphasis on Joanna Shaw, who is the author's mother, and on Doreen Shaw, the family matriarch. The making of 'Jaws' becomes a tenuous hook that holds this work together, and Robert Shaw comes across like a supporting player in what is supposed to be the story of his life and his greatest career achievement.

John Oliver Called Out Dean Cain For Joining ICE
Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics John Oliver bashed ICE's recruiting efforts by using former Lois and Clark Superman actor Dean Cain as an example. (Watch the video below.) In a segment covering Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Sunday's Last Week Tonight, the host noted Cain was joining the agency and persuading others to do the same in a video Cain shared last week. 'You know, there's an old saying in Hollywood: 'If all you can get is Dean Cain, you are fucked,'' Oliver snapped. The British comedian was just beginning to soar. 'Now, I'm not saying that ICE isn't finding people,' he said. 'I'm just saying, when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of The Dog Who Saved Christmas, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, The Dog Who Saved the Holidays, The Dog Who Saved Halloween, The Dog Who Saved Easter and The Dog Who Saved Summer, maybe you are in trouble. Although, on the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances of anyone recognizing him are fucking zero.' While offering practical tips on what to do if you are approached by ICE (just ask if you're free to leave and say you want to speak to a lawyer, attorneys told the show), Oliver pivoted to another possibility: 'I recognize that in some cases, you may be unable to help yourself from saying: 'Didn't you use to be Superman? I thought you died. I can't believe I'm meeting a filmmaker.'' Actor John Leguizamo already zinged the conservative Cain's latest career move, but Oliver's jokes offer another dose of comic Kryptonite for the former Superman actor.

Sophie Turner fires back at social media critic who said she's 'forgotten' about children
Sophie Turner isn't taking orders from the mommy-shaming police. The British actress, who shares daughters Willa and Delphine with ex-husband Joe Jonas, defended her parenting on social media after an Instagram user criticized her Aug. 4 post for not featuring her children, who are 5 and 3, respectively. The lighthearted post featured several clips of Turner, 29, and friend Ellie Wasserberg attending a concert from rock band Oasis, which kicked off its highly anticipated comeback tour in July. For her concert attire, the "Game of Thrones" alum was seen decked out in tour merch that included a baby blue Oasis band tee and beige bucket hat. "Bucket hats & beers…. That'll do me," Turner captioned the post. A post shared by S O P H I E T U R N E R (@sophiet) However, one fan was not amused by Turner's non-parenting fun. User @elizabethwakes96 wrote: "I think she has forgotten that she has two kids." Turner and Jonas, 35, split in September 2023 after the Jonas Brothers singer filed to dissolve their marriage, claiming that the couple's relationship had become "irretrievably broken." Amid their divorce, Turner sued Jonas for allegedly withholding their children's passports and refusing to allow them to return to England (lawyers for both Jonas and Turner later requested that a judge dismiss the federal lawsuit, effectively terminating Turner's case). Turner, who has been open about the emotional difficulties of coparenting, responded to the criticism in a fiery Aug. 7 comment. "Ah I'm so sorry, sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves," wrote Turner in a mocking tone. "So…. Get this….There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day." Sophie Turner fans show support amid parenting critique In an October 2024 interview with Harper's Bazaar U.K., Turner reflected on the isolation of coparenting, describing the periods without her children as "absolute agony." "I want them to see me having a social life and enjoying work and thriving in my career and relationships. I want them to see a hard-working mum," Turner said. "I'll come back and say, 'This is why Mummy was away — it's because she's doing this for you, so Father Christmas can come with a big bundle of presents.'" Despite the initial flak Turner received for her concert post, many users came to the actress's defense in the comments section. "Is it that incomprehensible to you that her children might have other trusted caregivers aside from her? The dad perhaps?" @laura_kai_02 wrote. "Is it that strange to you that a dad look after his own children every now and again?" "God forbid a mother has FUN," @floweredx commented. "Just because you are a parent doesn't me you don't exist as a person," @emmiejack0810 wrote. "You are still you, and you still need you time. Rock on girl!!!!!"
