The period drama saw a 20% increase in viewership compared to previous seasons, generating significant buzz among fans eager for the next chapter. HBO confirmed the renewal on July 28, celebrating the show’s growing popularity and the critical acclaim it continues to receive.
Erin Underhill, head of Universal Television, praised the series’ cast and crew, saying, “Thanks to \[Fellowes] and the phenomenally talented cast and crew, each season of The Gilded Age delivers stories rich in drama and history, stellar performances and stunning production value.” He added that the show’s world and characters have captivated audiences globally, and the demand for more stories was undeniable.

Showrunner Julian Fellowes shared insights on the narrative approach for future seasons, emphasizing a balance between closure and open-ended storytelling.

That is the sort of double discipline that we write to, really.” Fans can expect Season 4 to continue delivering drama, historical intrigue, and the high production values that have become the show’s hallmark.
