Earlier this week, The Nerds of Color was invited to cover the red carpet premiere ofThe Gilded Age Season 4. From topics like colorism and classism, to fond memories and hopes for the show’s future, we were able to speak with the cast and Executive Producer/Writer Sonja Warfield on what we can expect for Season 4.

While there was no shortage of glitz and glam on the red carpet for The Gilded Age in the heart of Manhattan, the true stars of the premiere were the stories and musings shared by the cast about their journey so far and what they hope audiences take away from the upcoming new season. Swara and I had a chance to interview Cynthia Nixon, Jessica Frances Dukes, Simon Jones, Kristine Nielsen, Dennis Haysbert, Douglas Sills, John Douglas Thompson, Ben Lamb, Ashlie Atkinson, Debra Monk, Kelley Curran, Donna Murphy, Ben Ahlers, and Executive Producer/Writer Sonja Warfield.
