The Gilded Age is back for Season 4, and the latest episodes are bringing more romance, family conflicts and social drama to New York’s wealthy families.
Created by Downton Abbey‘s Julian Fellowes, the HBO period drama follows the ongoing rivalry between old-money families and the city’s rising new-money elite. The Russells, the van Rhijns and their social rivals are once again at the centre of the story.
The new season has already delivered a surprise. In the premiere, Larry Russell, played by Harry Richardson, and Marian Brook, portrayed by Louisa Jacobson, shared an unexpected romantic moment.

Speaking about their characters’ relationship, Richardson explained that both Larry and Marian struggle with expressing and accepting love. He said their desire to connect, despite being afraid to open their hearts, helps lead to the complicated situation between them.
With more twists expected in the coming weeks, fans may be wondering when they can watch the next episode.
Season 4 premiered in the United States on Sunday, November 1, 2026, on HBO and HBO Max. UK viewers received the first episode on Monday, November 2.
Unlike shows that release an entire season at once, The Gilded Age follows a weekly schedule. New episodes arrive every Sunday in the US, followed by their UK release on Monday
