Every Broadway Actor in Season 3 of THE GILDED AGE

The Gilded Age is back for Season 3, and with it, a new and returning crop of Broadway talent. The New York-based costume drama is known for its vast array of theater actors, utilizing a total of 163 across its three seasons.

Many have won Tony Awards for their first-rate work on Broadway stages, including series regulars Audra McDonald, Kelli O'Hara, Donna Murphy, Nathan Lane, and more. This season, more Broadway alums join the series, including Victoria Clark, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Phylicia Rashad, Kate Baldwin, and Andrea Martin, to name a few.

In Season 3, Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn’t ruin him first. Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada’s new position as lady of the house. Peggy meets a handsome doctor from Newport whose family is less than enthusiastic about her career. As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear. 

Take a look below to see which of your favorite Broadway stars appear in the series, including new additions for season three like two-time Tony winner Victoria Clark. Also, be sure to take a look back at every Broadway actor in The Gilded Age seasons one and two. New episodes of the series debut every Sunday at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and Max. 

The series is created, written, and executive produced by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey). Other credits include Gareth Neame, David Crockett, Michael Engler, Bob Greenblatt, Sonja Warfield, and Salli Richardson-Whitfield as executive producers.
