In July 2025, Orsi revealed in a statement, “We couldn't be prouder of the undeniable viewership heights The Gilded Age has achieved this season.” She continued, “Transporting us to 1880s New York City, [creator] Julian Fellowes and the enormously talented cast and crew have created a 'can't-miss it' entertainment experience from week to week,” as reported by People magazine.

Underhill added, "Every moment spent in this world and with these characters only deepens our love for the show. And we're so happy that our partners at HBO and audiences around the world are clamoring for more."
