When The Gilded Age returns to HBO for Season 2, it’ll do so with one less player in the game.
Thomas Cocquerel, who played Marian’s ex-fiancé Tom Raikes, will not return for the period drama’s sophomore outing, our sister site Deadline reports. So if you were hoping for some juicy drama between the exes next season, you’ll have to save it for your fan-fiction.
