Okay, let's be real. We’re all obsessed with The Gilded Age. The costumes! The drama! The sheer opulence of it all!
But here's the question that burns in our hearts (and maybe keeps us up at night): When do we get MORE episodes?! Seriously, HBO, throw us a bone!
The Dreaded Waiting Game
Right now, we're in that awkward in-between space. Season two has wrapped up. And we're impatiently tapping our (metaphorical) top hats, waiting for news.
Is there a season three on the horizon? When will we see Marian Brook navigate New York society again? These are the questions that plague our minds.
The Season Two Wait: A Cautionary Tale
Remember the wait for season two? It felt like forever, right? We were all refreshing HBO Max every five minutes. Maybe that was just me... (unpopular opinion: I miss the thrill of anticipating a new episode).
Let's hope the wait isn't quite as long this time. Fingers crossed it won’t involve inventing a time machine.
Sadly, right now there is no official release date for new episodes, or even confirmation of a new season. We are all left in the dark.
Decoding HBO's Cryptic Clues (or Lack Thereof)
HBO is notoriously tight-lipped about release dates. They like to keep us guessing. Maybe it's part of their evil plan to maximize suspense. Or maybe they just haven't decided yet!
We scour the internet for clues. We analyze interviews with the cast of The Gilded Age. We even try to read the tea leaves (spoiler alert: they usually just say "drink more tea").
So far, no luck. But we remain vigilant! Our quest for information continues. We’re basically amateur detectives at this point.
My Unpopular Opinion: Embrace the Re-Watch!
While we wait, let's be honest. We can re-watch season one and two. Again. And again. (Unpopular opinion alert!).
There are so many details we probably missed the first time around. Did you notice Agnes van Rhijn's subtle shade towards Mrs. Astor in episode four? Pure genius!
Plus, re-watching gives us more time to admire the costumes. Seriously, those dresses deserve their own museum exhibit.
What We Think We Know (Maybe)
Okay, so we don't really know anything. But we can speculate wildly, right? Isn’t that half the fun?
If The Gilded Age gets renewed (and let's be positive!), a late 2024 or early 2025 release seems plausible. But that's just a wild guess. Don’t quote me on that!
Of course, production schedules, cast availability, and the whims of the HBO gods all play a role. So, patience, my friends, patience.
The Power of Social Media (and Wishful Thinking)
Let's use our collective power for good! Tweet at HBO. Flood their Instagram with #RenewTheGildedAge hashtags. Let them know we're out here, craving more Bertha Russell power plays!
Okay, maybe that's a bit much. But a little social media buzz never hurts. Plus, it's a good excuse to connect with fellow Gilded Age fanatics.
In the meantime, let's keep the faith. And maybe start practicing our curtsies. Just in case.
