Coming off its first ever Primetime Emmy nomination for Best Drama Series, The Gilded Age is once again inviting fans into the world of New York's high society of the 19th century. But when are we getting The Gilded Age season 3? That's just one question we’ll help fill you in on here.
Hailing from TV writer Julian Fellowes, it’s easy to say that The Gilded Age is HBO's version of Downton Abbey (returning with Downton Abbey season 7 and a Downton Abbey 3 movie in the near future). While there are similarities, that's not giving The Gilded Age its due, as it has built up a solid fan base and a variety of storylines and notable performances. With 18 episodes to date, it's definitely possible to catch up and see for yourself if you haven't started watching yet.
But for those that have and are very excited for The Gilded Age season 3, here's what you need to know.

The Gilded Age season 3 plot
Here is the official plot for The Gilded Age season 3:
"The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic and social change, when empires were built, but no victory came without sacrifice. Following the Opera War, the old guard is weakened and the Russells stand poised to take their place at the head of society. 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. Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada’s new position as lady of the house. Peggy meets a handsome doctor from Newport whose family is less than enthusiastic about her career. As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear."
