What Happened in the Gilded Age Season 3 Finale?
The Gilded Age Season 3 finale was like a rollercoaster! George Russell, portrayed in the role of the talented Morgan Spector, was shot by an unknown assailant in his office. Fans are wondering if the Russell family patriarch will survive or not. “Gunshot wounds were extremely dangerous in the 19th century,” Spector told Variety, hinting at the unpredictability of his character’s fate.
Meanwhile, tensions ran high in the Russell household. Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) and George clash over their daughter Gladys’ marriage to the Duke of Buckingham. The wedding went ahead, but it left Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) heartbroken, as she was forced to abandon her true love, Billy Carlton. Across the street, the Brook household faced chaos, with Ada (Cynthia Nixon) and Agnes (Christine Baranski) at odds over Ada’s new role as lady of the house.
What to Expect from The Gilded Age Season 4?
So, what’s next for Season 4 Gilded Age? While plot details are still under wraps, creator Julian Fellowes has teased that the show will continue to explore the clash between old money and new money in New York’s high society. The Gilded Age Season 3 introduced new characters and storylines, like the women’s suffrage movement and scenes set in England’s Sidmouth Castle. Season 4 might dive deeper into these themes, especially with Gladys now a duchess in England. Will we see more of her struggles abroad?
The Gilded Age cast is expected to return with fans’ favorite cast like Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton, Taissa Farmiga, and Harry Richardson. New faces in Season 3, such as Phylicia Rashad as Mrs. Elizabeth Kirkland and Bill Camp as J.P. Morgan, might also appear, depending on the storyline. Sadly, Claybourne Elder’s character, John Adams, won’t return after his tragic death in Season 3.
