The full trailer for the Second season of The Gilded Age proves that the story will be much more intense and full of new drama! Not everything we already know will happen is there; other things we thought would happen have another vision, and some fans are on hold. Let’s review scene by scene what the trailer reveals and confirms.

“New York is where society exposes itself,” begins Bertha Russell, clearly arguing with her husband, George, something he takes issue with.

We cut to a shot of everyone at the Church, which is the gateway to a new character, Pastor Matthew Forte (Robert Sean Leonard), with Bertha narrating “where the leaders meet” – with George greeting someone important – “where the children flirt”, with Oscar still flirting with Gladys (accompanied by Marian). “The old guard believes they can get away with blocking new people,” Bertha continues with images of Peggy and her mother leafing through something from inside a carriage and Harry seeing the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn. “But nothing stays the same way forever”, insists Bertha.

“Change came with the American Revolution, but it was difficult to survive in the same way”, we hear the eternal cynic Agnes talking to Ada.

The conflict has begun!

We see Bertha with McCalister strolling through the gardens of a beautiful mansion in Newport, cutting to her walking through a theater and saying, “I want to bring to the great city of New York a great opera house as it deserves”, with images of a group of people fascinated by what they see. “The gym members are very determined that you don’t succeed,” he responds with images of Caroline Astor smiling. At a ball, we see Bertha putting him against the wall: “You need to choose a side”, an image of Agnes looking indignant and Bertha looking defiant. “That’s it, head to head, and one will be the winner,” she determines, with Caroline looking irritated. Next, Caroline is at Agnes’ house commenting, “Mrs. Russell is more of a fighter than I imagined.” The cool thing is that we see Peggy sitting between them, so she will somehow get back into the circle!

Because she listens to me, then we see her in a cafe with Marian saying, “Is there any chance they will accept me back on 61st Street?”, to which Marian is sure they will: “Aunt Agnes will welcome me back with open arms”.

At the Van Rhijn house, we see Ada with a visitor and it is Reverend Matthew. With flashes of the two of them dancing and strolling around New York, she confesses: “I never dreamed that I would fall in love again, but I worry about what Agnes will think”, and we see through her sister’s upset look her reaction to the news.

As anticipated, there is a new crush on Marian. Agnes apparently approves of him. She says, celebrating that “cousin Dashiell was interested in Marian”. He is a wealthy widower who moves to New York with his daughter, Frances. But apparently, Marian remains rebellious. “But I don’t just want a husband, Aunt Ada,” she cries. She cuts to Agnes recommending her cousin, “he’s rich and he’s not even ugly”, she says to Marian, who ironically “What else could a girl expect?”.

Let’s go to Brooklyn and explore the other aspects of The Gilded Age.

“We’re covering the opening of a new school,” Peggy tells her worried mother, “you’ve never been to the South,” she warns her. “I need to write that people of color are doing something with their lives”, Peggy insists, packing her bags, but we see that there are clashes between workers and employers with cries of “strike, strike, strike”.

At the office, George listens to a politician explain that “things are worse than I imagined”. A worker complains to George, “We barely have enough to have a plate of food on the table”, but he resists. “Why do I have to be the villain in every story? I lifted entire cities out of poverty,” he argues.

In Newport, Harry arrives at a house that dazzles him while Bertha gets out of the carriage, welcomed by Gladys. Agnes’ voice warned, “You’re making a terrible mistake”, with Marian apparently looking at him from the window, happy to see him. (could be another scene) and cutting to the two fighting. “Stop being so selfish,” she warns her niece. “But Auntie, I won’t be put in a cage”, the young girl cries. “Have you forgotten that you live here at my expense?” Agnes finishes. Things won’t be peaceful on 61st Street.

At another dance, we hear McCallister say, “I fear we have a serious problem,” alongside Caroline. “I always supported you, who is supporting me now?” shouts Bertha, crying in a fight with George.

“No guarantees in War,” he says with images of a ball and, yes, Harry in bed with his client, the widow Susan Blane, who is going to hire him to renovate her house. “And that’s what defines everything”, sums up George as we see Peggy tense, Marian looking disappointed, and George and Bertha kissing.

“It looks like you won the first battle,” praises George. “I want to win the War”, warns Bertha.

Images of tension, tears, and Peggy at a party in Brooklyn, ending with Agnes: “Please”.

In other words, we can expect a lot of headaches for Marian, who cannot afford to be a modern woman and marry for love. We who chipped Marian and Harry have to worry!
