'Dazzling' period drama announces season 4 before season 3 finale has even aired
Fans of a period drama created by Downton Abbey's Julian Fellowes are celebrating after it was renewed for another season. Following the success of his series following the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family on their country estate – which ran from 2010 until 2015 – Fellowes based his next series during the Gilded Age of the 1880s and the battles between new and old money in New York. First hitting screens in 2022, The Gilded Age follows Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson), a broke young woman forced to live with her estranged aunts. However, she then finds herself battling through the city's strict social scene, specifically the conflicts involving the new money Russell family and her old money van Rhijn-Brook family, who are also neighbours on the Upper East Side. Like Downton Abbey before it, the series also explores themes of class and race, as well as women's status, the temperance movement, and scandal of divorce at the time. The Gilded Age – which has been nominated for 7 Emmys to date – also stars Carrie Coon (The White Lotus), Morgan Spector (Homeland), Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City) and Christine Baranski (The Good Fight). To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It currently holds an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which fans calling the series 'compelling', 'delightful' and even 'the best show on TV'. The third season returned to screens in June, with critic reviews continuing to be glowing. 'It's an upscale version of the classic primetime soap and one that's perfect to get lost in when real life drama is too much,' Decider wrote. 'Features more scandal, more raw emotion, and even some death and mayhem. But Fellowes has not over-egged the series in the pursuit of intrigue; Gilded Age remains mostly a pleasant, satisfying diversion,' Vanity Fair shared. 'The Gilded Age has become not just grand, but silly too. Instead of joylessly pompous, this show is now joyfully pompous. I'm in,' The Guardian. Although there are still two episodes of the current season to air, this week it was announced the show had been renewed and there would be more episodes on the way. 'We couldn't be prouder of the undeniable viewership heights 'The Gilded Age' as achieved this season,' HBO's executive vice president of programming and head of drama series and films Francesca Orsi said in a statement. 'Transporting us to 1880s New York City, Julian Fellowes and the enormously talented cast and crew have created a 'can't-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.' More Trending Fans were equally as ecstatic, with one declaring on Reddit: 'This is the best news I've heard so far this week, each season has gotten better!' Since premiering three years ago, The Gilded Age has gone from strength to strength. In the US, premiere-night viewing for third season has grown for five consecutive weeks, as reported by Variety. The third season is up 20% percent in viewership compared to last season. View More » The Gilded Age is streaming on Now. Got a story?

Is 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 ending this week? See episode schedule
In the aftermath of the wedding of the century between Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga) and the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb), cracks are beginning to appear in the Russell household with George Russell (Morgan Spector) and his wife, Bertha (Carrie Coon), at dagger's end. Bertha is also livid when she finds out Larry Russell has proposed to Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson), who she deems unworthy of trophy wife status. While the Russells, who stood "poised to take their place at the head of society," according to the season synopsis, are struggling with their own issues, including when a familiar face no one was expecting made a comeback. Maud Beaton, the woman who conned Oscar (Blake Ritson) out of his entire family fortune, was spotted at The Haymarket by Larry. She is now going by the name Dolly Trent. From "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes, "The Gilded Age" follows high society and the battle between "old money" and "new money" in 1800s New York. "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 that "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. The lavish period drama 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.

Guests can experience Gilded Age glamour inside New York City's historic Fifth Avenue Hotel
Stepping into Manhattan's Fifth Avenue Hotel feels like going back in time into the Gilded Age, which has been all the rage lately thanks to the HBO Max show of the same name. The Gilded Age was produced by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, and the period drama has been a hit with viewers who describe the show as Gossip Girl in corsets. Fellowes, who's behind Downton Abbey and Belgravia, is now focused on the fight between new and old money Manhattanites in the 1880s. The torrid lives of America's wealthiest dynasties are suddenly a hot topic once again, with dynasties like the Astors, Roosevelts, Vanderbilts, Carnegies and Rockefellers, on full display. The award-winning show follows fish out of water Marian Brook (played by Meryl Streep 's daughter Louisa Jacobson Gummer) as she moves from Pennsylvania to New York to live with her wealthy aunts Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon). Viewers aren't just taken in by the characters, they're equally invested in the people living the ultra-wealthy lifestyles during that era in Fifth Avenue mansions. While many of the palatial homes were demolished in the 1920s - later to be replaced with Zara, Nike, and Bergdorf Goodman - some still stand tall. Now, history buffs and fans of the show, can experience their very own Gilded Age vacation thanks to The Fifth Avenue Hotel, which is housed inside of a 19th century NoMad mansion. The Fifth Avenue Hotel is just as opulent as the homes featured on the show, from the elegant yet cozy lobby to the perfectly over-the-top, eclectic décor in both the rooms and pink hallways. The expertly restored property is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, which is a collection of the most unique independent hotels across the globe, highlighting chic, distinct travel experiences - and this former gilded age mansion certainly stands out. Visitors are given their very own butler who introduces themselves at the beginning of the trip can help them with anything from pressing clothing to hiring a personal photographer. The suites not only have colorful chandeliers, they also boast well-stocked complimentary mini-bars and housekeeping twice a day. The concierge experience is just as luxurious, as they offer reservations at the hottest restaurants in town (it's like you're getting access to your very own opera box). The memorable touches, like bone-inlaid tables and tiger-striped rugs, are thanks to Stockholm-born designer Martin Brudnizki, who's famous for paying tribute to the past and present. The cozy, oversize suites full of colorful, bold designs stand out in a city known for its shoebox size, cookie cutter hotel rooms. Guests might want to take some of the décor home, but it's all one-of-a-kind. Even the restaurant, Café Carmellini, is majestic, with live trees, stunning chandeliers, Art Deco mirrors and blue velvet seating. Diners can imagine the space as a ballroom with guests dancing down below and gossiping up above. The Italian and French restaurant's chef Andrew Carmellini is also behind downtown hot spots Locanda Verde, Lafayette, and the Dutch. The hotel also houses The Portrait Bar, which went viral on TikTok as a date night destination. The intimate cocktail lounge is fittingly covered in photos, paintings, and drawings, as diners sip cocktails described with tongue-in cheek descriptors, like 'not a margarita for margarita drinkers.' The original five-story limestone and brick building was owned by socialite Charlotte Goodridge, who commissioned the original construction in 1856. Then, in 1907, it was redesigned as a bank by landmark architecture firm McKim, Mead & White, who were also behind the Brooklyn Museum and the original Penn Station and designed many houses in Newport, Rhode Island. In fact, they have been credited with defining the signature look of Gilded Age America. Hotel founder Alex Ohebshalom's family bought the building in the 1970s and he focused on restoring the landmark and bringing it back to its glory for its opening in 2023. The hotel is at the intersection of 28th Street and Fifth Avenue, which makes it perfect for tourists eager to visit places like Madison Square Park and the Empire State. It's also walking distance from The Morgan Library & Museum, another must for history devotees. The museum and research library started as the personal library of financier Pierpont Morgan and now houses impressively rare manuscripts. The hotel is so Gilded Age-coded that members of the cast recently fittingly posed for a New York Times photoshoot inside the lavish rooms, which start at $895 per night. Mrs. Astor would surely approve.
