‘The Gilded Age’ Boss Previews ‘Coupling & Uncoupling’ of Season 3

Fans of The Gilded Age, a snapshot of life among the (mostly) elite in 1880s NYC, will find rising stakes in the characters’ quests for wealth, power and love in Season 3 as a recession looms. Railroad tycoon George Russell (Morgan Spector), one of the so-called robber barons, for one, will hit snags with his plans to expand his railroad lines, while the show’s formidable women will try to advance their status through marriages — whether love is involved or not.

Writer and executive producer Sonja Warfield gives TV Insider the scoop on the season’s upcoming machinations.
