What will it be about?

According to the official logline, season 3 of The Gilded Age promises no shortage of drama, both of the personal and historical varieties.

“Following the Opera War, the old guard is weakened and the Russells stand poised to take their place at the head of society. Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry—if it doesn’t ruin him first,” the description reads. “Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada’s new position as lady of the house. Peggy meets a handsome doctor from Newport whose family is less than enthusiastic about her career.”

She’s suddenly not the head of the household,” she said. “So that fall from grace and that fall from power, that’s always such a delicious thing to play.” And Jacobson told Elle, “What’s exciting about season 3 is that…you hear from her more about [Marian’s] motivations, her fears, and why they exist. That’s definitely something I advocated for….You’re going to see, oh right, she’s traumatized, and…the effects of that.”
