Period drama lovers cannot get enough of The Gilded Age season 3, airing weekly on HBO and HBO Max right now. There are only two episodes left before the season ends on August 10, but we have great news: The Gilded Age season 4 was announced on July 28!

“We couldn’t be prouder of the undeniable viewership heights The Gilded Age has achieved this season,” Head of HBO 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 'cant-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.”

From lavish costumes and sets to romance that will sweep you off your feet, this is one show you don't want to miss.


Here's everything you need to know about The Gilded Age season 4, coming to HBO soon.

Will there be a season 4 for The Gilded Age?

Yes, The Gilded Age season 4 is coming! We don't have an official release date yet, but we do have an idea of when new episodes could premiere thanks to the show's previous seasons. The Gilded Age season 2 was announced in February of 2022 before its October 2023 premiere, and season 3 was announced in December 2023 before its June 2025 premiere.

So if season 4 was announced in July 2025, we could see it premiere at the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027.

“Thanks to Julian and the phenomenally talented cast and crew, each season of The Gilded Age delivers stories rich in drama and history, stellar performances and stunning production value,” Universal Television President Erin Underhill said. “Every moment spent in this world and with these characters only deepens our love for the show, and we’re so happy that our partners at HBO and audiences around the world are clamoring for more.”

What happened at the end of The Gilded Age season 3?

The Gilded Age season 3 ended on more than one cliffhanger. Gladys is pregnant, and Peggy and Kirkland are getting married while Harry and Marian are giving their relationship another go. But Bertha and George's relationship is totally up in the air because Bertha might have gotten everything she wanted from society — but it might have cost her her husband. I can barely wait to see how these storylines continue.

The show has had a pretty consecutive story so far, starting in 1882 and moving through 1883. So it's safe to assume The Gilded Age season 4 will take place in the mid-1880s.
