"So sad": The Gilded Age Season 3 finale is the talk of the town as fans express their feelings about the HBO drama ending 

Another installment of HBO Max's Emmy-nominated American historical series is coming to an end with The Gilded Age Season 3 finale, which will debut on August 10, 2025. But worry not, as the Upper East rivalry between the Brooks and Russells is already renewed for Season 4.

While the one-week wait between episodes is already painfully long for the fans, the penultimate episode of The Gilded Age Season 3, titled Ex-Communicated, ended on a shocking cliffhanger. With just one episode remaining in the current season, fans are expressing their feelings, which a Reddit user rightly summarised as:

''Only one more episode. So sad''

While the penultimate episode solved one mystery around the Russell household and revealed that it was Miss Andre who was leaking their personal stories to the press, all is still not well on the 61st Street.

As George and Larry struggled with a financial problem, the episode ended with a mysterious gunman aiming at George in his office. Just as the gun shoots, the screen cuts to black, leaving George Russell's fate in the air in the Season 3 finale.

Here are some The Gilded Age Season 3 fan reactions.

Fan anticipations are running high with The Gilded Age Season 3 finale

While anticipation was already running wild for The Gilded Age Season 3 finale, the shocking cliffhanger of the penultimate episode has made things even intense. There are far too many loose threads to be resolved in the season finale, and with only 1 episode left, fans are wondering how the show will address them all.

Firstly, let's talk about that final scene of Episode 7, when an unknown party opened fire on George Russell, and his fate hangs by a thread in the season finale. Reddit fans are hoping that George gets the plot armor and survives in The Gilded Age Season 3 finale, as worried fans expressed their concern:

''Dr Kirkland is right across the street, and he’s going to save George…. I think.'' a hopeful fan thinks

While living across from a doctor has its own benefits, George's fate is still in the dark, and the fans are getting impatient, as u/asojad wrote:

''George will be fine and everyone will reconcile. I can't stand we have to wait a week.''

Another fan predicts that Larry will be in charge of the Russell household till George recovers from his wounds, shifting the paradigm of the Russell household a bit in Season 4:

''I say Russell will be out but alive for the start of next season and it's gonna be Larry in charge for a bit. Kinda like season 1 of transformers prime.''

While the mystery around George and other characters remains, some Reddit fans like u/One_Yak8698 expressed their impatience for The Gilded Age Season 3 finale:

''I can’t fathom waiting a week right now. How?! How? This is by far the best episode of the season so far!!!''

''All I could think was “Oh hell no! Do not make me wait another week to see what happens!” u/Sensitive-Rip-8005 joined in

In addition to this general anticipation and worry about George's fate, some fans like u/thebeanacle want to see Bridget and Jack get together in the The Gilded Age Season 3 finale, as the two have been eyeing each other all season:

''My theory is that Bridget is going to buy one dress and then Larry wants to invite Jack to the ball in Newport and Jack will invite Bridget and she'll get to wear her party dress. She's had too many longing looks at Jack this season, that they have to be bringing them back together.''

While the possibilities are endless, the outcome will certainly be exciting, setting the stage for an intense Season 4. All eyes are on The Gilded Age Season 3 finale, which will premiere on HBO Max on August 10, 2025. Be sure to tune in!
