The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is back with new episodes on Prime Video tomorrow, but today we are already getting news about the fifth season. And the news is not funny like Mrs. Maisel herself. That is because it will be the series’ final season.
“Amy, Dan, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel have blazed an unparalleled path, elevating the stories we tell about women, challenging the norms in our industry, and forever altering the entertainment landscape with their one-of-a-kind storytelling,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “The dozens of awards cement Maisel’s legacy in many ways, but what’s even more enduring and poignant are the characters Amy created and the joyous, brilliant, singular world she and Dan brought to life. This series has meant so much to Prime Video and the effects of its success will be felt long after its final season. I can’t wait for fans and our worldwide Prime Video audience to savor each moment as we embark on the culmination of this groundbreaking and unforgettable series.”
Before we get to season five, we still have to get through season four. The first two episodes are about to start streaming. And they take place shortly after Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) was left on the tarmac.
Midge is in a taxi with Susie (Alex Borstein), and she is declaring that her career is over. Therefore, she needs the money that she asked her manager to hold for her. The money her manager has spent. So how is Suzie going to get it back?
Better yet, how is Susie going to book Midge if she has been blacklisted? If it were up to Midge, she will only be a headliner. The only thing is that it is a man’s world, and she is a woman. So, she is going to try to take them on. Can she win at their game?
Talking about games, Midge and her whole family go to Coney Island to celebrate her son’s new birthday because his grandparents didn’t like his old one. All I will tell you is the scene on Wonder Wheel had me laughing hysterically. As an NYer, I could totally appreciate it.
As I did the scene where her parents (Tony Shaloub and Marin Hinkle) come up with a story how they bought the apartment back for Midge, instead of the other way around. Shaloub and Hinkle steal every scene they are in.
If this is what we are getting with the first two episodes of the season, I can’t wait to see what else we get in the next six that will be premiering two a week every Friday until March 11th.
