Will Midge finally achieve her dreams?
If you’ve been watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and rooting for Midge for all four seasons so far, this is for you. The Amazon Prime hit show’s fifth and final season is coming and just dropped a full trailer that might lend some hints as to whether Midge is finally going to make it big.
In the final season, Rachel Brosnahan’s character “finds herself closer than ever to the success she’s dreamed of, only to discover that closer than ever is still so far away,” according to the Prime description of the final season. And the trailer really drives that home, as we see Midge saying, “It’s two steps forward, three steps back, and I’m tired of it,” about her standup comedy career.
Luckily, fans don’t have too long to wait. If the trailer made you anxious for more Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the fifth and final season begins on April 14 with a three-part premiere. Then, new episodes will air weekly until the series finale on May 26.
The Emmy-winning series will see a lot of familiar faces return for the final season, including Brosnahan (of course), Luke Kirby (dearest Lenny!), Marin Hinkle, Michael Zegen, Kevin Pollak, Caroline Aaron, Reid Scott, Alfie Fuller, and Jason Ralph. Milo Ventimiglia and Kelly Bishop, of Gilmore Girls fame, are also set to return for the show’s last season.
Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, Maisel‘s showrunners, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter last year about some of what fans can expect in the show’s final installment.
“We always had a general endpoint in mind for the series, but it was somewhere at four or five or six, or something like that. And it just seemed to fit in season five,” Palladino said.
Sherman-Palladino added, “When it came down to five and out, we sat down and said, ‘OK, now what do we do to make sure that we stick the landing?’ Because that’s the most important thing. We’ve invested so much time and energy and resources in these people and their journeys, the bar is just making sure that we put this cast through what we put them through and made them work as hard as they did, and that they get to come out of this feeling like they’ve made a good journey, and that their characters have traveled and ended someplace of worth.”
