'The Gilded Age' has promoted 13 recurring cast members to series regulars for Season 2.
After the monumental success of its first season which earned a swift renewal from HBO, The Gilded Age is massively building on its already solid foundation for Season 2. Per Deadline, 13 of the show's recurring characters are returning and have been bumped up to regulars, bringing the main cast up to 24 from 12 in the first season. Promotions include Kelli O’Hara as Aurora Fane, Donna Murphy as Mrs. Astor, Debra Monk as Armstrong, Kristine Nielsen as Mrs.
With the expansion of the main cast, The Gilded Age Season 2 betrays some of its potential storylines. The vast majority of the promotions came to the lower-class characters among the cast, indicating we can expect more moments from the servants as they do the aristocracy's bidding. Unlike Julian Fellowes' previous series Downton Abbey, the lives of the working class are rarely explored to the same degree in The Gilded Age.
Season 2 is also set to bring back a number of fan-favorite recurring characters, including Audra McDonald as Dorothy Scott, Nathan Lane as Ward McAllister, John Douglas Thompson as Arthur Scott, Ashlie Atkinson as Mamie Fish, Claybourne Elder as John Adams, and Ward Horton as Charles Fane all confirmed to return. A few of Season 1's recurring cast members aren't currently listed for Season 2 though including Jeanne Tripplehorn, Katie Finneran, Amy Forsyth, John Sanders, and Linda Emond.
