‘The Gilded Age’ Hits Series High With Season 1 Finale; Audience Grows 54% From Premiere
The Gilded Age completed its first season on a strong note, with 1.6 million people tuning in across HBO platforms to see the conclusion.
Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) is at the top of her game in HBO’s rookie season, with every high society lady attending her huge gala, even though most would rather be anywhere else. Marian (Louisa Jacobson) and Peggy (Denée Benton) encountered numerous obstacles throughout the course of nine episodes, and although there’s still a lot to figure out, things are finally looking up. (Deadline’s entire recap and Q&A with Julian Fellowes and Sonja Warfield may be found here.)
The season finale set a new series high for The Gilded Age, with a 54 percent increase in viewers over the debut in January. The Gilded Age has grown from 1 million overall viewers to 8.5 million across HBO and HBO Max at the time of the conclusion.
