Fans of the show are intrigued about A Gentleman in Moscow Episode 3 after the second episode left them wanting more. Stick around and read on to find out all the details regarding the next episode.
What Is A Gentleman in Moscow All About?
A Gentleman in Moscow is an adaptation of Amor Towles’s 2016 book and takes place in Russia right after the October Revolution took place. Count Alexander Rostov (Ewan McGregor) is an aristocrat who comes back to Russia following a short trip from Paris. The year is 1918 and he gets a shock after he faces trial by a Bolshevik who orders him to spend his entire life under house arrest in a luxury hotel called Hotel Metropol Moscow.
The entire show is set in that hotel where Rostov tries to find secrets about the resistance and other details while being confined in the location.
Nessah Muthy and Ben Vanstone have written the episodes while Sam Miller and Sarah O’Gorman are the directors. A Gentleman in Moscow premiered on March 29th, 2024. McGregor and Miller are also the executive producers along with Tom Harper, Pancho Mansfield, Amor Towles, and Ben Vanstone.
What Happened In A Gentleman in Moscow Episode 2?
A Gentleman in Moscow Episode 2 was called An Invitation and it introduces a new character named Anna Urbanova (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who is an actress. The episode was helmed by Sam Miller and written by Ben Vanstone; it was released on April 5th, 2024.
The second episode witnesses Rostov exploring the hotel with some assistance from Nina. He gets an upgraded room and the key to the roof. But he realizes that his sister was killed probably because of the Bolsheviks.
Rostov finds out that was spared because of his attribution to a poem, which he didn’t write. It was penned by Mikhail Mindich aka Mishka (played by Fehinti Balogun) and the two were in the university around the same time. The episode also referenced the demise of Vladimir Lenin. It also bid adieu to Nina, who was an important figure in Rostov’s life inside the hotel.

What To Expect from A Gentleman in Moscow Episode 3?
A Gentleman in Moscow Episode 3 is given the name of The Last Rostov and it is helmed by Sarah O’Gorman. The previous episode has made it clear that the staff of the Hotel Metropol Moscow are not very welcoming of Alexander as they see him as a spy who has possible connections with the people who started the revolution.
This aspect can be the theme of the next episode. With Nina gone, he will once again feel very lonely. Luckily, Anna is there and the two have a liking for each other. His rapport with Mishka can be addressed in the episode since he also liked Rostov’s sister. We can expect more actual references in the show of historical events that were taking place in Russia at that time.
Barring the lead actors, the episode will also feature Daniel Cerqueria as (Vasily), Björn Hlynur Haraldsson (Emily Zhukovsky), Johnny Harris (Osip Glebnikov), Leah Harvey (Marina Samarova), John Heffernan (The Bishop) and Paul Ready (Prince Nikolai Petrov) among others.
Do We Have A Release Date?
A Gentleman in Moscow Episode 3 will be released on Friday, April 12th, 2024 on Paramont+ at 9:30 pm (ET). The runtime of previous episodes was around 48 minutes which will be the same for the third episode. If missed, they can be viewed on Showtime and NowTV the following day.
Conclusion
A Gentleman in Moscow is a very interesting book and the adaptation does justice to it. The plot is set in a heavy political backdrop with many events happening in Russia. All these things are shown in the show. A Gentleman in Moscow Episode 3 will dig further into how Alexander manages his stay in that hotel.
