Nathan Lane will recur as Ward McAllister, a famous historical figure of the Gilded Age chiefly remembered as the inventor of the phrase, “the four hundred.” This was the number of people who were worth bothering with in New York society. He was also one of the earlier arrivals in a little fishing village called Newport, Rhode Island, where many fashionable New Yorkers, including Mrs Astor (Donna Murphy), would follow him.

He came from a respectable family in Savannah, Georgia, and trained as a lawyer, but he had the good sense to marry an heiress, which allowed him to indulge in his great passion, High Society, launching the fashion for imitating the English, in tailoring, in etiquette, and in everything else. Naturally, he has a great deal to offer Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) in the way of opening doors, even if George (Morgan Spector) is less enamored.
