‘The Gilded Age’ actors on how today’s issues are represented on the show

CNN's Phil Mattingly speaks with the cast of HBO's 'The Gilded Age' about what it's like working together and how themes of privilege, race, and equality on the show reflect modern conflicts. #CNN #News

HBO needs to renew this show for a 3rd, 4th and 5th season. It's the only reason to keep HBO.

[@seriejohnson698]

Only reason.

[@sharonmoseley5779]

Exactly

[@fulanideedee8709]

And then after the 5th season it should conclude and possibly have a spin-off. Don't beleaguer or go on too pass people's interests.

[@earth7451]

Without a doubt. This is the first time in my life that I get HBO, and it was because of this series.

[@Oooyessbro]

Agreed

[@heathwirt8919]

It's a great show, the acting, costumes, props and cinematography is A+. Currently one of the very best series on TV.

[@willcox4561]

The series keeps getting better and more entertaining with each episode. Masterful writing and acting about the old super-elites of that period and the new rising super-elites of that period with many other subplots.

[@TH-tl6sy]

Absolutely love this show! Not since GoT have I set my agenda around watching a TV show Live. I'm so sad this season is almost over, but I will re-watch every episode again over the Christmas break.

[@charlenesteward195]

Can someone please tell HBO to just start writing season 3 and bring it back! Cast, stories, music, just EVERYTHING! I love everything about this show. We need more episodes per season too. Thank you Julian Fellowes Sonja Warfield, Salli Richardson - Whitfield, Gareth Neame, David Crockett, Michael Engler and Bob Greenblatt for giving me an escape into a world so intriguing and well depicted. 🥰

[@Meerkat73]

I could not care less for fashion, but costumes (both dresses and hats) are out of this world. Great show altogether.

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

This show is everything. Literally appointment television. ❤️

[@jamesaria1204]

The Gilded Age show proves that society, life, and culture is consistently in transition and that time marches quickly. Nothing last forever or stays the same.

[@franklymydear7774]

It was a great reason to stay subscribed to HBO.

[@pancakebacon684]

Love love love the show. And I love Cynthia Nixon’s character. A totally different character from SATC. 👍

Thank you Phil. I wasn't aware of The Gilded Age and I'm really looking forward to watching it.

[@CeeCee630]

I love this series. Hopefully, it’ll have a 3rd season.

[@cocoaorange1]

I like it too.

[@PortsladeBySea]

Excellent, fun to watch, interview. I’m looking forward to season 3 🤞❤👏

[@olggg9740]

This show proves that HBO is still top of the game. It is really worth watching and season 2 is much more dramatic than the first one❤

[@orondahwali5852]

The best show on TV right now! Love these lot.

[@MrNeilTV]

All the late interviews coming out all the sudden are giving me hope for the season 3 announcement! I swear I’ll be devastated if this gem gets cancelled! I can’t stop rewatching episodes! It’s more interesting with each watch! I keep catching things I missed!

[@danito1981]

Second season finale was beyond what I was expecting, really good. I hope the show gets renewed.

[@gigirheintal8893]

The need an Emmy nomination. At least for the costumes!!! ❤❤❤ love the cast, such a great script.

[@jamesclarkson5465]

This show is superb - the history, the acting, the spectacle, the powerful human drama; we love this show and we hope HBO reads this and the many more comments from viewers who love this show. Season 3! Season 3! Season...YES

[@thomasmagnum3588]

Love the show, but Julian Fellowes is the real star. His writing is superb!

[@meredith_martin]

I really hope this show has many many more season to come! its the best thing on tv!

[@IceCream-hp7mm]

Here's hoping it gets a 3rd season because this is show is awesome!

[@Concepcion30]

Listen, Bertha's fashion is on point, I'm not surprised the actress gets stopped by black women on the street. Watching episode one of season 2 I counted 5 different outfit changes for Miss Bertha! Dang!

[@ryanphilyaw8707]

Love this show! Please make Season 3 longer. Season 2 was incredible and went by too quickly.

[@KristinaNorman]

This show brings me so much joy! So many characters to root for, love the small mini stories within the larger storylines, acting is fantastic, witty lines, the “bad” characters are still somewhat still likable… there’s everything to love about this show!

[@Danuta628]

Love love love this show. There’s so much to sink your teeth into. Bravo to the cast - set design - costume design and of to Julian for giving us a true period masterpiece!

[@reb1959]

Will there be a SEASON THREE?

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

I don't think they would be doing such a promotional tour if it was about to be canceled. I hope I'm correct.

[@undisguised1]

Great series, excellent acting and the costumes are magnificent. I do hope it comes back for a third season.

[@earth7451]

I love the character of Bertha. Great actress. They are all great!!!👍🏼

[@Pou1gie1]

@2:05 - @2:17 I definitely think Denée Benton had something to say regarding Morgan Spector's pro-pull yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps comment. It is easy for a Yt man to say this without thinking that many didn't have boots or bootstraps.

[@debraslone281]

Love this shows, please keep it going for a long time

[@ybthomas1]

Love this show, so excited about Season 3. It means so much to see black characters and black culture during this time with a different storyline of success and wealth. I hope this show continues to share life in Brooklyn and do a spin-off. These are the stories of black people I would love to see more! Keep up the amazing work!

[@snoski]

I love Christine Baranski! Especially when she appears on Late Night w/ Seth Meyers. She's amazingly talented and hilarious! A real class act! All that said, I'm not loving these commercials for CNN's parent company's content posing as "news."

[@dr.aniasara7038]

Thank you for being a professional reporter/host in the interview. Not many at all know how to do that. I love 'The Gilded Age' and unfortunately, I am not in the position to subscribe to watch.

[@exaudi33]

Neither am I. Hasn't stopped me.

[@Grandizer8989]

The Gilded Age reassured me that American actors can still act. These roles usually go to UK actors

[@58christiansful]

Supremely good show. Wonderfully acted. Season 3 please!

[@kentsilverfour]

Congrats to the audiences for patience. Season 2 is so full in motion with story and character arcs that it feels like 5 seasons so far just in two. All by the master Julian Fellowes.

[@JAYJAYLAZ]

I subscribed to HBO because of this. This is my absolute favorite show ever and I love Marvel - go figure. The actors are amazing. My only criticism is that each season must be at least 30 episodes each please! and release a season every year in the next 10 years please.

We are in another Gilded Age. The Robber Barons are all around us once more.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Yes. But this one doesn't have the level of grace and style the way the original one did. This one is only about greed.

[@pdruiz2005]

At 2:56. Yep. I've described "The Gilded Age" as a show like the "Real Housewives" but without the screaming, the screeching, the fake faces, the fake boobs, the fake clothes and the fake fortunes. Everything else, however, is there--the delicious backstabbing, the vicious gossiping, the nasty swipes and counter-swipes among cultured, sophisticated women with actual, real money. The history is shoehorned in there, which I really like as well. :D

[@kairo333]

I absolutely LOVE this show! I hate that the seasons are only 8 episodes. Smh 🤦🏿‍♀️😢

大自然好像一首曲，一首無邊無際的曲，每個音符都帶有動聽的音律，每個音節都帶著歡快的節奏，每個音段都帶有柔美和安適，歌曲自然而不失感點，多似水中有動的魚兒，自由，愉快。這首曲載著傾聽者無憂無慮的夢想，使傾聽者感受曲中大自然的鳥語花香，大自然的多彩芬芳，思緒沉淪在大自然如此令人嚮往之中。#美台21世纪贸易倡议首批协议实施法

[@miamimice6572]

I enjoy the historical and the costuming is fun but what am I missing? The actors have little chemistry and their delivery is more like a stage play. Julian Fellows looked at a few US history books and grabbed his Dowton outline. He kills off the preacher at his happiest just like Mathew Crowley!

[@debbystardust]

The show is amazing. It’s great that today’s issues are represented, however, that should not be the reason contemporary people “deign” to show interest in history. The Victorians were the architects of the present; what have wealthy people given society that compares with The Brooklyn Bridge or Central Park? Respect your elders, lol.
