The cast of The Gilded Age has already met again in New York and has already posted some photos and we, die-hard fans, are eagerly awaiting the start of filming for the third season. The official summary of what to expect says, “With the old guard officially deposed, New York society finds itself turned upside down and everyone must get their houses in order. But even those at the helm of this new era may find that change comes at a cost.” Shall we decipher sentence by sentence?
“With the old guard officially deposed, New York society finds itself turned upside down and everyone must get their houses in order.”
Here we are still talking about the “victory” of Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) with the new Metropolitan, which places her on equal terms in the leadership of New York society with the traditional Caroline Astor (Donna Murphy). Some want her downfall, like Enid Turner (Kelley Curran), but the biggest drama will be marrying Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) against her will to the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb).
It goes on: “But even those at the helm of this new era may find that change comes at a cost.”
Here we can fear for Bertha’s loving partnership with her husband, George (Morgan Spector). He may be ruthless in business, but he protects his children. George has promised Gladys that she will have a marriage of love and not even he is aware of the agreement made by Bertha with the Duke. This will give you a piece of mind.
On the other side of the street, we know that the Van Rijhn house is also going through changes with the bankruptcy of Agnes (Christine Baranski) thanks to Oscar’s (Blake Ritson) mistakes. Ada (Cynthia Nixon) discovered she is a millionaire so no one will have to leave where she is, yet everything will change.
The fixed cast has been the same since the premiere, but the new names of those who will join have already been confirmed, we realize that we return to Newport:
Mrs. Elizabeth Kirkland (Phylicia Rashad), is a woman from a prominent family with ties dating back to the American Revolution. She is married to Frederick (Brian Stokes Mitchell), the pastor of a prominent black church and leader in the Newport community. Elizabeth is ultra-protective of her son, Dr. William Kirkland (Jordan Donica).
Dr. William Kirkland is a kind and handsome doctor who has a more inclusive view of life and society. He was inspired by Arthur Scott’s (John Douglas Thompson) pharmacy, that’s right, our dear Peggy’s father, to become a doctor. Can we bet on a new love for our journalist? Of course!
And to top it off, we will have actress Victoria Clark in the role of Carlton, a kind and genial woman from the old financial side of New York high society who is sincere and supportive of her son, and who is surprised to find herself in a complicated and difficult situation. insulting. Oops, scandal!
We can cheer up!
