Class conflict is (mostly) frothy and delicious in first The Gilded Age season 4 teaser
The historical drama series returns to HBO in November.
The Gilded Age returns on November 1 at 9 p.m. with a teaser promising plenty of frothy fun amidst class conflict. In the first season, Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) achieved everything she wanted, but at the cost of her marriage and her daughter's happiness. Across the street, the van Rhijn sisters faced their own status change when Ada (Cynthia Nixon) took control of the family's finances from Agnes (Christine Baranski).
While intense storylines exist, such as Peggy's (Denée Benton) heavy character arcs and an assassination attempt on George Russell (Morgan Spector), the teaser highlights the social-climbing Mrs. Enid Winterton (Kelley Curran) entering a lavender relationship with Oscar van Rhijn (Blake Ritson) to elevate her social standing. This kind of dramatic tension is handled over lavish dinner parties, making The Gilded Age an entertaining escape for Sunday evenings.
