The star-studded period drama The Gilded Age has been awarded an early second season renewal by HBO.
The US cable giant announced on Monday that it has ordered another run of Julian Fellowes' period drama.
The renewal comes just three episodes into the series’ inaugural season, with the fouth episode of the nine-episode season airing today on Sky Atlantic.
"Julian and the entire Gilded Age family have thoroughly captivated us with their tale of late 19th century New York City extravagance," said Francesca Orsi, EVP of HBO Programming, in a statement.
"Along with our partners at Universal Television, we couldn’t be prouder to embark on a season two journey with this extraordinarily talented team."
The cast of the show includes Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski, and The Gilded Age tells the story of old money and new in 1880s' Manhattan high society.
Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, added: "The first season of The Gilded Age is the beginning of an epic story that introduced a fascinating world full of intriguing characters.
"The scope of Julian's vision is ambitious, and we’re thrilled to continue to explore the depths of this fascinating era with HBO."
