Hey there, Manhattan elite. The Gilded Age here. Spotted in the first teaser for Season 4: recently split George and Bertha Russell dancing at a ball, all smiles.
HBO revealed first footage from The Gilded Age Season 4 in a video promoting what’s coming to the network in 2026 (above). The clips are very short and don’t reveal much about the plot, but there are snippets of the show’s two young couples — Peggy (Denée Benton) and William (Jordan Donica), and Marian (Louisa Jacobson) and Larry (Harry Richardson).
It also includes a new line from Bertha (Carrie Coon) before she later appears dancing with estranged husband George (Morgan Spector), and it shows a brief glimpse of newly minted millionaire Jack (Ben Ahlers), confirming he’s returning in Season 4 after he moved out of the Van Rhijn/Forte household.
The last time we saw the Russell couple, their relationship was hitting rock bottom. George left Bertha in the Season 3 finale’s final moments because of her handling of their daughter’s marriage. Seconds after George spurned Bertha, Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) revealed she was pregnant. Gladys is happily married after all, but that didn’t change George’s feelings about how it happened.
Does The Gilded Age Season 4 footage tease that George and Bertha will reconcile, or are they putting on a show for Manhattan’s elite because divorce is too scandalous for any reputation to bear?
Coon previously told TV Insider that “the train hasn’t left the station” for George and Bertha’s marriage just yet, but also warned that viewers should keep in mind what Bertha did for divorced women in Season 3 by welcoming them into society as its new queen bee.
“You have to pay attention to the idea that Bertha is preemptively trying to make society comfortable for divorced women,” Coon told us. “We know Bertha, we know that any effort she’s making is not entirely altruistic. There’s always something self-serving in that effort.”
In the new teaser, Bertha continues to sell her belief that society can evolve so long as there are people bold enough to make it.
“Life’s meaning isn’t where we come from,” she says. “It’s where we’re going.”
