Bill Camp, Leslie Uggams, Merritt Wever, and more join cast of “The Gilded Age” season 3

The upcoming season will also feature Paul Alexander Nolan, LisaGay Hamilton, Hattie Morahan, Jessica Frances Dukes, and Andrea Martin.

Even more stars of stage and screen are preparing to don their glitziest gowns to take part in the soapy scheming of The Gilded Age season 3.

Emmy-winner Bill Camp (The Queen’s Gambit, The Night Of) is among the newcomers set to join the already-expansive cast of characters. Camp will star as J.P. Morgan, the financier and investment banker who famously dominated corporate finance throughout the late 19th and early 20th century. He’ll serve as a rival for Morgan Spector’s George Russell, when the two find themselves at odds over the future of the railroad industry.

George won’t be the only member of the Russell clan confronted by a new obstacle: two-time Emmy-winner Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie, Godless) is joining the cast to cause trouble for Carrie Coon’s Bertha, as her estranged sister who arrives at a crucial moment for the family.

The Russell’s will also find themselves entertaining a dashing New York businessman in the form of Paul Alexander Nolan’s (Water for Elephants) Alfred Merrick, a member of the old money elite who they hope to secure a deal with.

Elsewhere, Tony-winner Leslie Uggams (Deadpool, American Fiction) will step into the show’s opulent world as Ernestine Brown, a member of the Newport elite, and Winning Time star LisaGay Hamilton is set to star as Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, the famed Black suffragist and poet who will cross paths with Peggy (Denée Benton) and encourage her to join the cause.

Peggy will find another kindred spirit in Athena Trumbo (Ozark’s Jessica Frances Dukes), her mother’s beloved cousin, who will voice her support of Peggy’s writing career.

Additional newcomers include Hattie Morahan (Operation Mincemeat) as the sister of Bertha’s season 2 obsession, the Duke of Buckingham and Andrea Martin (Evil) as Madame Dashkova, a medium who claims to commune with the dead.

The sprawling period drama chronicles the great conflict between old money elites and new money social climbers in New York's glittering Gilded Age. With these new characters comes even more ostentatious gowns and, somehow, more soapy drama than before. As fans surely remember, the series from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes left off with several shocking revelations and a huge shakeup in dynamics at the Van Rhijn household.
