Created by Downton Abbey 's Julian Fellowes, The Gilded Age is set in the late 1800s and centers on two feuding families, the van Rhijns and the Russells, with each coming from different sectors of New York City's elite class, a battle between old and new money. After three seasons, the historical drama will air season 4 this fall.
During a wide-ranging interview with Deadline , Bloys called The Gilded Age season 4 " excellent ," adding that he is currently talking with production " about what a fifth season would look like ."
"Gilded Age, the season is excellent. We are talking to them about what a fifth season would look like. Stay tuned on that."
Star Morgan Spector, who plays George Russell, is currently filming Netflix's The Secret of Secrets , an upcoming TV adaptation of the Dan Brown novel, which could create some scheduling conflicts between the two series. Bloys said that HBO will " try to work around " that project. " It's a big cast, and they're a very busy cast ," he acknowledged. " Hopefully, we can work around everybody's schedule because I think everybody loves making it. "

Industry Impact & Strategic Analysis
The cast was nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series at the SAG Awards in 2024, and the show itself has received multiple nominations over the years at the Emmys and Creative Arts Emmys.
Aside from being the creator, Fellowes writes every single episode of the series and serves as an executive producer with Gareth Neame, David Crockett, Michael Engler, Salli Richardson Whitfield, Sonja Warfield, and Robert Greenblatt.
The Gilded Age season 3 ended with George being shot in his office, but he managed to survive, thanks to Dr. Kirkland. His personal life wasn't doing much better, as he and his wife, Bertha Russell, were at odds over her involvement in their daughter's marriage. As a result, George decided not to reconcile and left for New York.
It's been just over a year since that finale aired, but now HBO is just weeks away from airing The Gilded Age season 4 premiere, with Dennis Haysbert, Neal Huff, Bonnie Milligan, James Scully, Taylor Trensch and Maggie Kuntz joining the cast.
