Season three of The Gilded Age just wrapped up on HBO, and it was a jam-packed episode!The network thankfully already renewed the series for a fourth season. At Just Jared, weâre huge fans of the show, and weâre revealing our best guesses at the season four cast list, including who is definitely exiting the show.
Keep reading to see who will be back for season four, and who is likely exiting the seriesâŠ
Carrie Coon as Bertha Russell â Expected to Return

Thereâs no Gilded Age without Carrie Coonâs Bertha Russell.
Weâre definitely expecting to see Carrie back as Bertha in season four. Unfortunately, it looks like thereâs some issues in the Russell household with Bertha and George. Is divorce in Bertha and Georgeâs future?

Morgan Spector as George Russell â Expected to Return
Morgan Spectorâs George Russell was shot in the penultimate episode of season three. Fans were extremely concerned about if the character would live or die.
Morgan himself told Variety about Georgeâs fate, âYou should be very worried. In the 19th century, gunshot wounds from up close were extremely dangerous. Many people didnât survive them. I donât have a contract for next season yet, so who knows?â
However, with his recovery, it looks like he should be returning for the new season! However, he ended season three leaving his relationship with his wife Bertha quite up-in-the-air.

Christine Baranski as Agnes Van Rhijn â Expected to Return
Christine Baranski should be back as Agnes Van Rhijn in season four, especially with her newfound work with the Heritage Foundation!
About her characterâs development over the years, she told NBC, âOver the course of three years youâve seen her love for her sister and her loyalty. Youâve seen her devastated when she lost her moneyâŠher pain to learn her son was in love with a man.â

Cynthia Nixon as Ada Brook â Expected to Return
Cynthia Nixon should be back as Ada Brook (aka Ada Forte). Season three brought so much up and down for Ada as she navigated life as a widow and the leader of the household.
âIn many ways, Ada is still a child,â Cynthia told EW of her character. âSheâs a woman-child thatâs never been responsible for herself. Agnes has born the brunt of the harshness of the world, and Ada has been protected. Her muscles for making decisions or leading people or being authoritative [are under-developed]. Ada has done her best to be compliant, sweet, and loving. She has survived by making herself amenable. Now, all of a sudden being in charge and having all this power, she is thrilled.â

Louisa Jacobson as Marian Brook â Expected to Return
Louisa Jacobson should be back as Miss Brook. Marian had quite the up-and-down season.
Fans were thrilled to see her become engaged to Larry Russell after courting for quite a while.
However, Marian suddenly ended their engagement after a tumultuous revelation about Larryâs whereabouts caused her to no longer trust him. They ended the season in a better place, so fans are hoping a wedding will happen!

Harry Richardson as Larry Russell â Expected to Return
Harry Richardsonâs Larry Russell is expected to return for season four, where his relationship with Miss Marian Brook should be a focal point.
Fans have been embroiled in a âwill they/wonât theyâ after Marian ended their romance abruptly while he was out west.
Now, fans are hoping theyâll wed in season four.

Taissa Farmiga as Miss Gladys Russell â Expected to Return
Taissa Farmigaâs Miss Gladys Russell became the Duchess of Buckingham during season three. She had some major moments throughout season three, including getting married basically against her will, learning how to one-up the Dukeâs sister Sarah, and finally, seeing sparks with the Duke.
With her pregnancy, it looks like there may even be a new addition to the Russell family!

Ben Lamb as Hector, Duke of Buckingham â Expected to Retur
Ben Lamb made his debut as the Duke of Buckingham in season two, and got married to Gladys in season three.

DenĂ©e Benton as Peggy Scott â Expected to Return
Denée Benton will certainly be back as Peggy Scott in season 4.
In season three, she met Dr. Kirkland and struck up an amazing rapport. However, his motherâs reveal about her life prior to moving to NYC impacted their romance.
And at the end of season threeâŠshe seemingly gets engaged to Dr. Kirkland!

Jordan Donica as Dr. William Kirkland â Expected to Return!
Tony nominee Jordan Donica joined season three as Dr. William Kirland, described as âa kind, handsome, doctor from the prominent Kirkland family who isnât as narrow minded as the older members of his elite social circle. He was inspired to help others by becoming a doctor after visiting Arthur Scottâs (John Douglas Thompson) pharmacy as a boy.â
With everything going on between him and Peggy, we expect him to be back in season four, and hope to see their wedding!

Blake Ritson as Oscar van Rhijn â Expected to Return
Blake Ritsonâs Oscar van Rhijn had an emotional third season.
After ending season two losing all of his familyâs fortune, he kicked off the season at a low point.
Things got even lower when John Adams died, and he could not properly mourn his love.
The season ended with him reuniting with Mrs. Winterton.

Kelley Curran as Mrs. Winterton â Seemingly Could Return!
Kelley Curranâs Mrs. Winterton is one of the antagonists to Mrs. Russell, but scoring an invite to the end of season Newport ball seems like a great step towards having her back in a more regular fashion!
After Oscarâs invitation to be a married couple, it would seem to suggest she could return!
Stay tuned as we learn more.

Ben Ahlers as Jack Treacher â Expected to Return
Ben Ahlers ended season three becoming a VERY rich man by selling his clock patent.
He eventually was asked to leave the Forte household as a footman.
Many believed this might be a sign that heâs exiting the show! However, he did tell Town & Country, âIâm anxiously awaiting what happens to him,â leading fans to believe thereâs more story to tell.

Kelli OâHara as Aurora Fane â Seemingly Should Return
Kelli OâHaraâs Aurora Fane serves as one of the high society members in The Gilded Age. She had a tumultuous season after living in Newport following her sudden divorce.
Bertha Russell made sure to include her in society by inviting her to the ball.
We anticipate sheâll be returning for season four, barring any major changes!

Donna Murphy as Mrs. Astor â Seemingly Should Return
Donna Murphyâs Mrs. Astor is a high society member who is often going back-and-forth with Mrs. Russell. We expect to see her return, barring any major changes!

Douglas Sills as Monsieur Baudin â Seemingly Should Return
Douglas Sillsâ Monsieur Baudin is an integral part of the âdownstairsâ storyline in the Russell house.
We hope to continue seeing him.

Celia Keenan-Bolger as Mrs. Bruce â Seemingly Should Return
Celia Keenan Bolgerâs Mrs. Bruce is an integral part of the âdownstairsâ storyline in the Russell house.
We hope to continue seeing her.

Simon Jones as Mr. Bannister â Seemingly Should Return
Mr. Bannisterâs job was saved by Mrs. Forte at the end of season two, and he continued playing an integral role in the third season.
We expect heâd be back for season four, barring any major changes.

Jack Gilpin as Church â Seemingly Should Return
Church, the butler for the Russell household, should be back for the fourth season, barring any major changes.
