Marriage Is on Everyone's Mind in 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 Teaser

Everyone's favorite exceedingly well-dressed guilty pleasure, The Gilded Age, returns to our screens this June, bringing more social scandal and fashionably gorgeous headwear. The period drama, which is set in late nineteenth-century New York, chronicles the clash between old-money Manhattan elites and the up-and-coming nouveau riche strivers whose wealth comes from (gasp!) capitalism and industry. But while the catty comments and glorious side-eyes of the city's social scene are a staple of the series' success, it would appear that this outing is going will get back to Julian Fellowes' Downton Abbey-esque roots with a healthy dash of romance—or, at the very least, serious relationship drama.

As its third season begins, a freshly triumphant Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon), safely ensconsced at the top of society in the wake of her victory in Season 2's Opera War (she, smartly, backed the Metropolitan Opera House), is itching to see her daughter married off to some low level royalty, whether Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) likes it or not. Elsewhere, the Van Rhijn's niece Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) is embarking on a new romance with neighbor and Russell family heir Larry (Harry Richardson), which looks sweet enough and should make for a nice change after both parties' disastrous relationships from last season. (Though it certainly doesn't look as though Agnes approves...) Even Peggy (Denée Benton) appears to have met a nice man! You truly love to see it!

Unfortunately, not every relationship will be smooth sailing this season. Things look pretty tense between George (Morgan Spector) and Bertha throughout this teaser in a way we haven't seen on this show before, which certainly does not bode well for whatever his latest railroad scheme happens to be. While it's hard to believe that they're the couple the voiceover's "divorce" refers to, it's not exactly impossible. (Protect these two at all costs!)
