After this season broke viewership records, it's already been renewed for season 4. The Gilded Age 's third season had five weeks of continued growth (a 20% growth over last season) and also reached its highest-ever weekly viewership on HBO Max, when the fifth episode secured a series high of 4 million U.S. viewers, according to its Live+3 ratings.

In The Gilded Age Season 3 finale, Dr. William Kirkland gallantly defies his racist and classist mother to propose to Peggy Scott! He does it with his father’s blessing and, more importantly, hers. It’s a swoon-inducing, super romantic sequence that gives Peggy the happily ever after she so richly deserves.
