As The Golden Age Season 3 wraps up, George Russell is seen traversing Belta. Unbeknownst to him, a certain marriage has blossomed, rooted in the mutual disdain between George and Sarah (Hattimorahan). Could it be possible that these two opposites might find some kind of resolution?
The fans are happy to see the budding romance, especially following Mrs. Russell’s Newport Ball. However, the more intriguing development lies in Dr. William Kirkland’s (Jordan Donica) proposal to Peggy Scott (Denne Benton), despite her mother’s objections. What’s next? Are we looking at one or two grand weddings in Season 4? Will George and Bertha reconcile? Is there a fourth season on the horizon? Here’s what we know about the future of The Golden Age.
Is a Fourth Season Coming?
Yes, it’s confirmed. HBO announced on July 28, 2025, that there will indeed be a fourth season of The Golden Age.
When Can We Expect Season 4?
While a specific release date is still unclear, considering it took about a year and a half to produce the third season, we can make an educated guess. The earliest we might see Season 4 hitting the screens is in the latter half of 2026.
What’s in Store for Season 4?
The finale left us with plenty of new developments: multiple engagements and one major setback. Season 4 will need to explore the complexities of George and Bertha’s marriage. Will they end up divorced? Is there a chance for them to reconnect? Co-showrunners and stars recently hinted at some possibilities.
“Perhaps they can reunite; perhaps not,” co-showrunner Sonja Warfield mentioned. “I think they’re authentic characters, flawed and multidimensional.” Meanwhile, Julian Fellowes, another co-star, noted that it’s not always about explosive events but rather the nuances in their choices.
On the other hand, Morgan Spector expressed skepticism, saying, “I don’t think it’s easily fixable; ‘the bridge is on fire’.”
Additionally, some characters are gearing up for their own weddings. Peggy seems to be on the path to marrying Dr. Kirkland, and it looks like Larry and Marian have reached an agreement. Oscar Van Lizin (Blake Ritson) has proposed a unique arrangement to Mrs. Winterton (Kelly Curran) that allows her to maintain her own home while mingling in high society.
Lastly, there’s the interesting twist of Gladys expecting a child with the Duke of Buckingham. So, brace yourself; we may be diving into some prenatal adventures in this gilded age!
