We're almost there!

'The Gilded Age' Season 4 Premieres in 3 Weeks. Here's Everything You Need to Know.

Q: Is Gilded Age returning in 2026?

Yes, The Gilded Age season 4 premieres on HBO and HBO Max on November 1, 2026. That means we have just over three weeks until we'll see the Russell and van Rhijn families again! Until then, you can rewatch seasons 1-3 on HBO Max as many times as you want.

Q: Who's in The Gilded Age season 4 cast?

The Gilded Age has an incredible cast as it juggles multiple plot lines, families, and stories all at once. The brand new Gilded Age poster tells us quite a bit about where we find our characters. All of the outfits are in bold but muted colors, with plenty of textures, silhouettes, and details on the clothing. The Russells and van Rhijns are sophisticated and are still at the top of Society, but they're also keeping their boldness, especially when they go head-to-head. The outfits are reserved but they're not boring. And that makes sense if you ask me because nobody on this show is hiding.In the new episodes, we're sure to see: Louisa Jacobson as Marian BrookDenée Benton as Peggy ScottCarrie Coon as Bertha RussellMorgan Spector as George RussellChristine Baranski as Agnes Van RhijnCynthia Nixon as Ada BrookTaissa Farmiga as Gladys RussellHarry Richardson as Larry RussellBlake Ritson as Oscar van RhijnTaylor Richardson as BridgetPhylicia Rashad as Mrs. Elizabeth KirklandBrian Stokes Mitchell as Reverend Frederick KirklandJordan Donica as Dr. William KirklandMerritt Wever as Monica O'BrienBill Camp as J.P.

If you've been feeling absolutely distraught since the end of The Gilded Age season 3 — where the fate of Bertha (Carrie Coon) and George's (Morgan Spector) relationship was left up the air while Peggy (Denée Benton) got engaged to Dr. William Kirkland (Jordan Donica) — then you're definitely not alone. I have been beside myself waiting for new episodes to air so we can find out exactly what happens to our favorite New Yorkers.

Because one thing is for sure: The Gilded Age never leaves us wanting when it comes to drama. We can always count on creator Julian Fellows to deliver.

Here's the latest update on The Gilded Age season 4 before it comes to HBO, and a new look at the cast!

What is The Gilded Age season 4 about?

Karolina Wojtasik/HBO

We know that The Gilded Age season 4 plot will see Bertha (Carrie Coon) reeling from the fallout of her work in season 3 — and its affect on her family and Society at large. Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) is looking to regain her position in Society while Marian (Louisa Jacobson) sets out for a new adventure. Peggy (Denée Benton) also has to face challenges as she tries to get her future in-laws to accept her. Easier said than done...

Donna Murphy teased season 4 will open after a time jump. "And here we go! 1st fitting for Lina Astor for Season 4 of @gildedagehbo," she said on Instagram. "Corset & boots laced up, & happy to be stepping into 1886."

Season 3 opened in 1884 so it appears the beginning of the fourth season could open after our characters have quite a bit of distance from last year's cliffhanger.
