If you thought the Harrington dynasty couldn’t sink any lower after last season’s blood-soaked finale, think again. The first full trailer for The Old Money Season 2 landed at midnight, and within hours it shattered streaming records with over 47 million views in its first 12 hours. One line, whispered by Eleanor Harrington herself in the closing seconds, has already become the most rewatched moment of 2025:

“It was never taken from us. One of us buried it… and buried the truth with it.”

That single sentence flips everything we thought we knew about the disappearance of the Harrington fortune — the $4.8 billion that vanished the night patriarch Charles Harrington was found dead in the wine cellar with a single gunshot to the temple. Season 1 convinced us an outsider (a disgruntled ex-employee, a rival family, maybe even the Russian syndicate Charles had been laundering money for) had orchestrated the greatest heist in American history. The trailer just proved we were all played.

The two-minute- forty-second sizzle reel is a masterclass in controlled chaos. We open on black-and-white security footage of the estate the night of the murder: a gloved hand disabling the cameras, a silhouette dragging something heavy across the marble floor. Then snap to present day — the mansion is half boarded-up, vines choking the columns, the Olympic-sized pool drained and filled with dead leaves. The remaining Harringtons have returned for the reading of a second will, one allegedly discovered hidden inside the grandfather clock that stopped ticking the exact minute Charles died.

Every surviving cast member is back, and they all look like they’ve aged a decade in the six months since we last saw them:

Victoria Harrington (Emmy winner Claire Langford) is no longer the ice-queen matriarch. She’s unraveling — chain-smoking in a silk robe, pupils blown wide, clutching a rosary like it’s a loaded gun.
Julian Harrington (Theo James, somehow even more unhinged) has been released from the psychiatric facility we saw him committed to in the finale. The trailer lingers on fresh scars climbing his neck and a new tattoo on his knuckles: “TRUST NO ONE.”
Delphine Harrington (Anya Taylor-Joy), the prodigal daughter who swore she’d never return, steps off a private jet with a baby no one knew existed. The child’s eyes… they’re Charles’s eyes. The internet is already losing its mind.
Marcus Vale (Mahershala Ali), the family’s longtime attorney and the only person who knew where every offshore account was buried, is suddenly missing. His empty office is shown covered in blood spatter that matches the exact pattern found in Charles’s wine cellar. Coincidence? Absolutely not.

But the real gut-punch comes at the 1:48 mark.

We see flashbacks — never shown in Season 1 — of each family member in the weeks leading up to the murder. Victoria wiring $800 million to an untraceable account in the Caymans. Julian meeting a mysterious woman in Prague who hands him a flash drive marked “HARRINGTON ENDGAME.” Delphine burning documents in the fireplace while whispering, “He can never know it was us.” Even sweet, overlooked cousin Beatrice (new series regular Florence Pugh) is caught on a nanny cam slipping something into Charles’s nightly bourbon.

The money wasn’t stolen. It was systematically drained, hidden, and laundered by the very people now pretending to grieve its loss. The question is no longer “who took it?” It’s “who among them decided Charles had to die once he found out?”

Director Alessandra Moreau (who took over showrunning duties after Season 1’s controversial finale) leans all the way into Gothic horror this year. The color palette is drained to almost black-and-white, the score is a single detuned piano note that never resolves, and every scene is lit like a Caravaggio painting — faces half in shadow, secrets literally in the dark.

The trailer’s final montage is pure nightmare fuel:

A groundskeeper unearthing a child-sized coffin on the estate grounds.
Victoria discovering her late husband’s severed finger wearing the family signet ring inside her bedside drawer.
Julian standing in the drained pool at midnight, screaming at the sky: “You all got what you wanted! Are you happy now?”
And then the killer reveal — or what seems to be one: a figure in a blood-soaked wedding dress dragging a body through the rose garden. The camera pans up slowly… but the face is deliberately obscured by a veil. Chat, place your bets.

Early reactions are feral. The main subreddit gained 300,000 members overnight. TikTok is flooded with frame-by-frame breakdowns claiming the veil pattern matches the one Delphine wore in Season 1’s flashback to her aborted wedding. Twitter’s top trending topic worldwide is simply “#HarringtonBabyDaddy.”

One thing is certain: when The Old Money Season 2 premieres February 14th (yes, Valentine’s Day, the savagery), no one is ready. The Harringtons didn’t just hide billions of dollars. They hid monsters. And this time, the monsters are wearing couture.

Mark your calendars, lock your doors, and maybe don’t trust your own family for a while. The old money is back… and it’s dripping red.
