The Gilded Age Season 4 Premiere: Where to Stream, Release Date & Full Cast Revealed

Deck yourself out in finery — “The Gilded Age” returns tonight.

Julian Fellowes’ lavish period drama (the creator behind “Downton Abbey”) is back for its fourth season, debuting tonight, Nov. 1, on HBO.

Season 4 opens in the wake of last season’s finale: George and Bertha Russell (played by Morgan Spector and Carrie Coon) have split after an attempt was made on George’s life and after Bertha’s involvement in arranging their daughter Gladys’s (Taissa Farmiga) marriage to the Duke of Buckingham comes to light.

The official synopsis for Season 4 states, “Bertha Russell altered Society, but it came at a price. Now her household must face the fallout as Agnes van Rhijn moves to reclaim her standing. Meanwhile, Marian carves out a fresh direction for her life, and Peggy strives to win over her prospective in-laws. In this changed era, be careful what you wish for.”

In her critique of the new season, Meghan O’Keefe of DECIDER praised the show as one of television’s most sumptuous offerings — rich, indulgent, and thoroughly entertaining.

O’Keefe sums up Season 4 as the series operating at peak self-assurance: a superb blend of meticulous production values and old-fashioned camp.
