Listen: THE GILDED AGE Season 3 Soundtrack Now Streaming

WaterTower Music has released the official soundtrack for Season 3 of The Gilded Age, featuring original music by acclaimed composers Harry and Rupert Gregson-Williams. The release coincides with the Season 3 finale of the hit HBO drama, which aired on Sunday.

"We feel very fortunate to be on board The Gilded Age train,” said Harry & Rupert Gregson-Williams, "particularly as HBO allows for a full orchestra to record music for each and every episode. Our hope is to make our score be a part of the very fabric of this fabulously characterful series and that the music is as enjoyable to listen to as it has been to compose".

The series was recently renewed for a fourth season, with HBO Programming Head Francesca Orsi saying, “We couldn’t be prouder of the undeniable viewership heights The Gilded Age has achieved this season.  Transporting us to 1880s New York City, Julian Fellowes and the enormously talented cast and crew have created a “cant-miss it” entertainment experience from week to week, and we're delighted to continue exploring these characters’ grand ambitions for what we promise will be a thrilling fourth season.”

In Season 3 of The Gilded Age, the old guard has been weakened and the Russells stand poised to take their place at the head of society. 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. The full season is now available to stream on HBO Max.
