'The Gilded Age' Adds Eight New Faces to Its Sprawling Season 3 Cast
It’s no secret that The Gilded Age’s cast is....well, let’s just call it large. Sprawling. Expansive, even. Boasting a roster that included two dozen series regulars in its second season and even more recurring roles, the HBO period drama had the most extensive ensemble cast on television in 2023. And while some of us may have assumed its already stacked roster meant the show was unlikely to add many more characters this season, well....we were all wrong.
Earlier this year, the series announced a modest four new faces, clearly intending to deepen and further flesh out its occasionally thin portrayal of Black life in late nineteenth New York. So far, so needed! And so clearly aware that the show probably had more characters than it could reasonably service. The joke’s on us, though, as the casting department wasn’t finished yet.
The Gilded Age has added eight new faces to its massive roster for Season 3 in major and minor roles. However, the character descriptions sound like they’ll be primarily involved with the Russells’ and Peggy’s storylines.
