And the stars just keep on coming! Yet another round of new stars has been announced for the forthcoming third season of the HBO drama The Gilded Age. Created by Julian Fellowes, the series takes place in turn-of-the-century New York and follows new money socialite Bertha Russell as she navigates high society.

Also joining will be Dylan Baker (The Good Wife) as family doctor Dr. Logan; Michael Cumpsty (Severance) as Lord Mildmay, a British nobleman; John Ellison Conlee (Boardwalk Empire) as the overly polished businessman Weston; Bobby Steggert (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as the influential portrait artist John Singer Sargent; and Hannah Shealy (The Rose Tattoo) as Charlotte Astor, the married daughter of Mrs. Astor (played by Donna Murphy).
