Morgan Spector & Carrie Coon ALL THAT GLITTERS

THE STARS OF THE GILDED AGE REVEAL WE SHOULD EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED IN SEASON 3 OF THE HIT PERIOD DRAMA

- Kylie Walters

If there are two things we've come to expect when seeing Morgan Spector and Carrie Coon on screen together, it is chemistry and drama. And as the stars of The Gilded Age join WHO over Zoom from Los Angeles, plenty of the former is on display as they promise Season 3 is going to offer a heap of the latter.

In the thrilling Season 2 finale, the Russells were at odds as matriarch Bertha (Coon) arranged the marriage of daughter Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) to a wayward duke, paying her way to the family having more social standing in New York's high society. Husband George (Spector), however, believes Gladys is headed for a life of unhappiness and wants her to follow her heart's desire.

“I was really quite surprised how quickly it gets into the action,” Spector, 44, says of reading the scripts for Season 3.

Coon, 44, adds, “There were times I was reading it when I actually squealed out loud.”

Given some of the things they do, your characters could be the show's villains, so why do you think everyone roots for them?
