Meet The Cast Of The Gilded Age Season 2

Reprising her role as the naïve and young Pennsylvania transplant, Marian Brook, actor Louisa Jacobson will be in Season 2 of "The Gilded Age," Deadline reported. Jacobson's character moves in with her aunts Agnes and Ada, establishing the first prominent plot point to the series. Throughout the first season, she navigates her way around Manhattan society and falls into a tryst with a social-climbing lawyer whom her aunts are disapproving of. Regarding working alongside such well-known names in the industry, Jacobson told Vogue, "Working with Christine and Cynthia has been like a TV masterclass, honestly." 

The lavish costumes, which are a staple of the show, were something Jacobson had to get used to. As she recalled, "When filming began, I had been in sweatpants for months because of the pandemic, and then all of a sudden, I'm in a corset every day." She continued, saying, "Corsets change the way that you breathe, the way that you eat, everything. They definitely helped me to get into Marian's headspace, though."
