“There is much more story to tell with The Gilded Age. We’re delighted that HBO is giving fans another season of Julian Fellowes’ incredible storytelling,” said Universal TV president Erin Underhill. “The cast and crew put so much of their heart and soul into the last two seasons, and we’re so proud that all this hard work is paying off with another season. You won’t want to miss what’s next.”
The Gilded Age is a co-production of HBO and Universal TV. Fellowes created the long-developing series (which was initially set up at NBC before moving to HBO) and executive produces with Gareth Neame, David Crockett, director Michael Engler, Bob Greenblatt, writer Sonja Warfield and Salli Richardson-Whitfield.
