If the mansion on your TV looked familiar Sunday night, that's because it is. HBO's "The Gilded Age" returned for Season 4, and 's takes center stage in the premiere. It doubles as Sidmouth Castle, home of Hector, Duke of Buckingham, and his new bride, Gladys Russell. Not every day your campus doubles as a duke's castle.

  • Premiere: Sun., Nov. 1, at 9 p.m. Eastern
  • Castle stand-in: Ochre Court as Sidmouth Castle
  • Architect: Richard Morris Hunt
  • Where to watch: HBO Max

Salve students and an alumna got in on the act, too. They swapped everyday wardrobes for 19th-century costumes, complete with period hair and makeup, to appear as extras in Season 4.

The season finds Bertha Russell confronting the consequences of her social climbing and Agnes van Rhijn plotting a comeback. Parts of the series were also filmed in Newport mansions built by the real-life families who inspired some of its characters.

Six actors play characters in the show
