Filming on HBO's The Gilded Age began in Troy, New York on August 5, with returning stars Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Cynthia Nixon, and Christine Baranski.

Created, written, and executive produced by Downton Abbey's Julian Fellowes, The Gilded Age has returned to Troy for season three production, doubling the upstate region for New York City in the 19th century.

The series is also filming in the New York town of Schenectady, in its historic Stockade neighbourhood, as well as New York's capital city Albany.

It is a co-production between HBO and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
