"There is so much in history [that would work for the show]," she said.
"We discovered gems for season two that play into our characters' journeys, and there are so many more things we could play out if we're lucky enough to get a third season."
She added: "In season one, we had Thomas Edison's lights, in season two we have the Tuskegee Institute, and we'll discover what that is in a season three."
The Gilded Age season 1 and 2 are available to stream now on NOW and Sky Atlantic in the UK and HBO Max in the US.
