https://blackgirlnerds.com/the-gilded-age-adds-new-cast/

Season 3 of The Gilded Age is currently in production. The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic and social change, when huge fortunes were made and lost overnight. With the old guard officially deposed, New York society finds itself turned upside down, and all must get their house in order. But even those at the helm of this new era may find that change comes at a cost. 

Today HBO announced new cast members added to the show’s roster:

BILL CAMP (HBO’s “The Night Of,” “Presumed Innocent”) as JP Morgan, the world-famous investment banker who finds himself at odds with George Russell (Morgan Spector) over the future of the railroad industry. 

MERRITT WEVER (“Unbelievable,” “Godless,” “Nurse Jackie”) as Monica O’Brien, Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon)’s estranged sister who appears at a crucial time for the family. 

LESLIE UGGAMS (“Roots,” “Deadpool”) as Mrs. Ernestine Brown, Elizabeth Kirkland’s friend and a member of the Black elite community in Newport. 

LISAGAY HAMILTON (“The Dropout,” HBO’s “Winning Time”) as Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, the famed Black suffragist who inspires Peggy (Denée Benton) to become involved in her cause, in spite of the dissenting opinions of those around her. 

PAUL ALEXANDER NOLAN as Alfred Merrick, a dashing, wealthy New York businessman, who has all the hallmarks of the old money set – elegance, refinement and sophistication. The Russells invite him to dine at their home in the hopes of charming him into a business deal. 

HATTIE MORAHAN (“Operation Mincemeat,” “Fool Me Once”) as Lady Sarah Vere – Sister to the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb), Lady Sarah makes it clear that the Russells are not to her taste. 

ANDREA MARTIN (“Evil,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) as Madame Dashkova, a medium who claims to be able to commune with the dead. 

JESSICA FRANCES DUKES (“Ozark,” “Earth Abides”) as Athena Trumbo, Dorothy (Audra McDonald)’s beloved first cousin and a part of an elite enclave of Black residents of Newport, Rhode Island, who is pleased to host Peggy (Denée Benton) and is supportive of her writing career. 

Series crew includes:

Creator/Writer/Executive Producer: Julian Fellowes 

Writer/Executive Producer: Sonja Warfield 

Executive Producer: Gareth Neame 

Executive Producer: David Crockett 

Director/Executive Producer: Michael Engler 

Director/Executive Producer: Salli Richardson-Whitfield 

Executive Producer: Bob Greenblatt 

Historical Consultant/Co-Executive Producer: Erica Dunbar  

https://www.themarysue.com/cuckoo-ending-explained/

Director Tilman Singer’s time-loopy Cuckoo has an appropriately bonkers ending that’s leaving audiences with more questions than answers. So what’s the deal with Dan Stevens’ conniving “preservationist” and his scary bird woman, and what’s Hunter Schafer’s Gretchen got to do with it?

Spoilers ahead for Cuckoo, of course.
