HBO Confirms 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 Will Debut in 2025

During the 2010s, the Game of Thrones season finales were infamous among TV reporters as HBO's big moment to drop the first looks at the other major series heading to the network in the months to come. House of the Dragon may never reach the heights of the original series it was spun off from, but it still brings in plenty of viewers, enough that its finale is now the prime moment for HBO to continue the tradition of releasing a clip reel of series to look forward to and sketching out their release windows. For fans of The Gilded Age, that included a first look at a Season 3 romance and the (unsurprising) news that the series won't debut until 2025.

Considering The Gilded Age is still announcing new cast as filming continues in earnest, the chances of the show arriving before the end of 2024 were slim at best, but fans of the show held out hope Julian Fellowes' series could finally settle into a year-to-year release schedule after the upheaval of pandemic filming. But apparently, that's not the case, as the show's first footage comes in the second half of the new trailer, placing it firmly in the "2025 arrivals" section.

However, HBO is not just limited to Fellowes' costume extravaganza when it comes the British programming. The network, which is still, a destination for great television (despite Warner Bros. Discovery's best efforts), has a long tradition of British and British-ish shows, from the unsung Industry (which is heavily featured) to Westeros-set series like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the latest from the Game of Thrones franchise. There are also several glimpses of the British-actor-studded series The White Lotus, which is now in Season 3; Emily Watson, who anchors the Dune franchise spinoff Dune: Prophecy; Colin Farrell in the titular role in The Batman spinoff, The Penguin; and future OBE Bella Ramsey in Season 2 of The Last of Us.
