"The Gilded Age" returned to HBO with its third season, on Sunday night and has shown an uptick in viewership compared to previous seasons. In its first three days of availability, the Season 3 premiere reached 2.

The third season premiere of The Gilded Age delivered the show's best opening to date. The June 22 debut of the HBO drama gathered 2.7 million cross-platform viewers in the United States over three days.

It takes a large ensemble of actors and actresses — some very heavy Broadway hitters — and more to bring 'The Gilded Age' together for HBO.
