‘The Gilded Age’ Cast and Julian Fellowes Break Down the Season 3 Premiere: From the Shocking Divorce to Bertha’s Big Plans for Gladys’ Future


Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Cynthia Nixon, Christine Baranski, Julian Fellowes and Sonja Warfield on 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 premiere.

Well, for the first two seasons of the HBO period drama, the Russells’ marriage has been an ideal union of two striving, wildly ambitious people, drawn together by their shared desire to reign over New York City. George Russell took care of making the dough, using his business smarts to run circles around the old money elite, while Bertha brought high society to heel, deploying their riches to bulldoze past all the blue bloods. Whether its Ada discovering she’s rich and Agnes accepting she’s penniless or George and Bertha seeing their marriage strained over their divergent ideas about what’s best for their daughter, a lot of the relationships in this episode are being tested, even destabilized.
