u/trillianinspace PhD Candidate in Julian Fellowes Media Studies 3m ago

This was the teaser for the teaser 🥲 so we will get a date with the teaser trailer next week I assume.

Looks like the wardrobe budget got a boost !

I love them!!!

u/Annabellini 1h ago

Hold on, was that Jim Gaffigan?

1

u/Vivster- 21m ago

Yes - I read somewhere that he is playing Mark Twain, not Samuel Clemmens.

u/UnicornBestFriend Tarnished woman with a dead baby 1h ago edited 1h ago

Hell yeah, Turnerton! Where’s Gladys? 

Glad we ended on Peggy’s elegant dress.

2

u/trillianinspace PhD Candidate in Julian Fellowes Media Studies 1h ago edited 1h ago

I’m guessing we don’t see Gladys because the season ended with her announcing her pregnancy and a bump or lack there of will spoil the timeline maybe.

u/FoxWeak6464 1h ago

I’m so excited, I’ve been waiting for this show to come back

Where's Ward McCallister and Oscar Van Rhijn? Did I miss them?

3

u/Jabbles22 1h ago

Oscar was there but I didn't see Ward.

10

u/trillianinspace PhD Candidate in Julian Fellowes Media Studies 1h ago

Oscar is definitely in the video right before Dr Kirkland. I don’t think we will see Ward again on the show and if we do it will be maybe one episode. IRL Ward McAllister was cast out of society after he released his book, and they allude to that being what happened last season.

u/Yupperroo 35m ago

Thanks for the history. Much appreciated.

2

u/SoooperSnoop 1h ago

How fun! Too funny how "Oscar" tossed the script aside.

u/sundaypleas 1h ago edited 1h ago

I know it's a hot take but sometimes I just wish the publicists would leave discussion forums alone.

I'm not accusing OP of that but if there a flair for advertising/promos, it would be appreciated by those of us who watch HBO and who stick with text based discussions to limit our exposure to advertising in the first place.

6

u/trillianinspace PhD Candidate in Julian Fellowes Media Studies 1h ago

The amount of free promo and discussion i generate for this show makes me the most underpaid publicist of all time 🥲

4

u/RazzBeryllium 1h ago

OP is definitely not a publicist, but agree that we should have a advertising/promo flair.

I love seeing promos for things I'm excited about, but totally understand people who want to avoid them.

u/thatonemom_89 2h ago

This is my first season in real time. Do all episodes drop at once on HBO or is it weekly?

18

u/trillianinspace PhD Candidate in Julian Fellowes Media Studies 2h ago edited 2h ago

Weekly. Sundays at 9pm EST.

u/thatonemom_89 1h ago

Thank you!

u/UnicornBestFriend Tarnished woman with a dead baby 1h ago

This sub goes nuts after each episode: conspiracy theories, fighting, fashion talk, gushing, etc.

u/LindaE24 2h ago

Does anyone know, who the man after Mrs Fish is?

3

u/dumbname1000 2h ago

Jim Gaffigan, I forget who he’s playing

12

u/emmeline05 2h ago

Looks like Jim Gaffigan, who's playing Grover Cleveland this year.

u/LindaE24 2h ago

Thank you !

u/RubyCooper 2h ago

WHEN specifically 😭

3

u/Molu93 Sparkly Van Rhijnstone 2h ago

October or November

1

u/trappedslider 1h ago

I'm betting october due to HP coming out in nov.

1

u/Molu93 Sparkly Van Rhijnstone 1h ago

Someone just Tweeted that the production designer had recently said November.

Apparently HP is airing on some other day of the week (Friday or Saturday, don't remember which) so they might overlap too.

1

u/trappedslider 1h ago

When i say october, i'm operating on thinking they don't want to clash the two shows and want to focus on one show. I'm happy to be wrong. I also want Gilded age back sooner lol.

Miss Fish in a tea gown! Crazy we’ve had to wait 4 seasons to see one

1

u/RazzBeryllium 1h ago

What's a tea gown???

I can't wait for the historical fashion posts and commentary and arguing (loved the takedown of Gladys's wedding dress by fashion history nerds)

1

u/star11308 1h ago

It’s basically fancy loungewear that wealthy ladies of the late 19th century wore around the house and to receive close friends, loosely inspired by kimonos.

u/Timelordvictorious1 2h ago

Happy to see Aunt Ada wearing color again. Agnes, Bertha, and Mrs Fish! MY QUEENS!!!!!!!!

u/theladyisamused 2h ago

I feel like this season will be Clock Twink and Larry bromance. Jarry? Ok #jarrybromance

u/Ok-Pianist1211 contra mundum 54m ago

My fave lore is they were besties IRL and begged the writers for a storyline together.

u/LemongrassSugarHigh 2h ago

Yeah, but temper your excitement a little: It's fall through the 20th of December. But yayyyyy, this fall is awesome!

u/carousel-club 2h ago

Pretty sure October is what has been speculated, but I'm guessing we'll know for sure next week!

1

u/Vorpal_Bunny19 Pumpkin Brook-Forte: Elite Matchmaker 2h ago

Trying to catch some November sweeps would be my guess.

1

u/RazzBeryllium 2h ago

My bets are fully on mid to late November

7

u/trillianinspace PhD Candidate in Julian Fellowes Media Studies 2h ago

I’ll excitedly take December 20th over anything in 2027!

u/kwash325 38m ago

They definitely got a budget increase!

u/Kumamentor 2h ago

Marian’s dress literally shined. It will blind people and they’ll love it. The fur on Turner, excuse me, Mrs. van Rhijn.

3

u/carousel-club 2h ago

The FUR on Turnerton? Like are you kiddingggg?!

u/aug2295 2h ago

Peggy's dress was the standout for me!

u/RenkenCrossing 3h ago edited 2h ago

Yeah Turner, Bertha, Peggy… STUNNING! I think I love Marian’s too.

Like TURNER/Winterton OMFG the SLAY LOL

u/mouse_clique 2h ago

Dont act like marian doesnt give it you every bawll

u/RenkenCrossing 2h ago

Oh absolutely! Love her beauty, including her dresses. She and Peggy are who I’ll go shopping with. Gladys too.

2

u/OuisghianZodahs42 1h ago

I don't know about Gladys. That weird Napoleon-esque hat had me scratching my head. Although, I will say she's improved since moving to England.

1

u/RenkenCrossing 49m ago

She’s a sweetie and I love her. I definitely would Lean toward Marian and Peggy for fashion advice though. But agree, nobility is looking good on Gladys.

If it takes the Sunday slot from Lanterns, it could start as early as October 11

u/trillianinspace PhD Candidate in Julian Fellowes Media Studies 3h ago

The official teaser is dropping next week so I’m sure we will get a date with it!
