Filming for The Gilded Age Season 3 took place in Troy, New York, and recently, a behind-the-scenes picture was shared online. The photo shows the actor Ward McAllister dashing across the street in front of several horses and buggies. He is going towards Bertha Russell, a key character in the show. In the picture, it looks like Ward McAllister is in a hurry, maybe trying to speak to Bertha before she rides away.
The scene was filmed early in the morning at 8 am on 2nd Street in Troy, New York. While part of the team filmed this outdoor scene, another crew was filming interior scenes inside the A.D. Newsum Milliner & Dressmaker shop, featuring Audra McDonald, Lisa Gay Hamilton, and a few other women. The scene in the picture shows a horse-drawn carriage, with a lot of people dressed in period clothing from the Gilded Age era.
The director of the show wants viewers to understand the “movie magic” involved in making these scenes. If you look closely at the road in the photo, you can spot fake cobblestones and dirt placed to make it look like the street is from the 1800s, which is when the show is set. This shows how much work goes into making historical dramas look real and authentic.
The Gilded Age has become a popular show on HBO Max, with each season showcasing the life and struggles of the rich and powerful families in New York. In this particular season, we can expect more drama, action, and historical settings as the characters deal with love, power, and wealth in the late 19th century.
Fans of the show are excited to see what will happen next, and we will probably learn more about Ward McAllister and Bertha Russell’s storyline soon. If you’re a fan of history, period dramas, or exciting scenes, this season will surely keep you entertained!
