HBO has announced the period drama’s fourth season and unveiled a lavish first teaser, offering an early glimpse at the next chapter of New York society’s ruthless social battles.

The new season will continue exploring the rivalries between old-money families and the city’s newly wealthy elite.

The teaser leans into the series’ signature grandeur, featuring ornate costumes, glittering parties and opera-house spectacle.

Returning cast members include Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon and Morgan Spector, alongside the show’s expanding ensemble.

Created by Julian Fellowes, the series remains centered on power, class and the shifting rules of social influence during America’s Gilded Age.

HBO has set the season’s release for 2026, though an exact premiere date has not yet been announced. The early footage suggests that the coming episodes will bring fresh alliances, sharper confrontations and more elaborate displays of wealth as the characters compete for status in a rapidly changing city.
