The Gilded Age Season 3 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Carrie Coon & Morgan Spector's historical drama
The Gilded Age Season 3 OTT Release Date: Hold onto your corsets and cravats, New York's upper crust is about to clash again. After two addictive seasons of social ambition, secrets, scandals, and grand staircases, The Gilded Age returns for Season 3, promising more high-society drama than ever. Mark your calendars: the third season will stream in India on JioHotstar starting June 23, 2025. Viewers in the US will get it a day earlier, on June 22 at 9 PM ET, on HBO and Max. From creator Julian Fellowes, the genius behind Downton Abbey, this American period drama explores the glittering yet cutthroat world of 1880s New York, where old money and new money collide, and reputations can be built or destroyed with a single dinner invitation. What's the plot this time? In The Gilded Age Season 3, Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) is aiming to control the whole ballroom. After conquering the opera wars in Season 2, she now sets her sights on cementing the Russell name in every pillar of high society. But don't expect the old-money elite to hand it over without a fight. Meanwhile, George Russell (Morgan Spector), our rail tycoon with a conscience, is teetering on a business decision that could make or break the family fortune. His grip on America's industrial future might be slipping, and he knows it. On the other side of the street, Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and her much-too-spirited niece Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) continue their ideological tug-of-war. Marian is still stubbornly pursuing independence and possibly love (again?), while Agnes fights to keep the van Rhijn name wrapped tightly in decorum and Victorian morals. Good luck with that, Aunt Agnes. And if that's not enough, Peggy Scott (Denée Benton) finds herself navigating not just her journalism career, but a complicated new relationship with a doctor—yes, romance is back on the menu, with side servings of class and race politics. Who's running the show? Julian Fellowes continues to steer the ship, with the always-capable Sonja Warfield returning as co-writer and executive producer. Direction is in the hands of series regulars Michael Engler and Salli Richardson-Whitfield, who know how to shoot drama between teacups better than anyone else. The series continues to be a co-production between HBO and Universal Television.
