Tits up, everyone! Midge Maisel and Susie Myerson will be sticking around for at least another season. Deadline confirms “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” has been renewed for Season 4 at Amazon less than a week after Season 3 dropped on the streamer.
Created by Amy Sherman-Paladino, the Emmy-winning dramedy tells the story of a ’50s housewife who goes into comedy after her husband leaves her. Season 3 sees Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) and her manager, Susie (Alex Borstein), going on tour with musical star Shy Baldwin (Leroy McClain). Sherman-Palladino serves as a frequent writer and director.
Marin Hinkle, Tony Shalhoub, and Michael Zegen also star.
“We were thrilled to hear that for the fourth time, we do not have to pack up and vacate the premises,” joked Sherman-Palladino and EP Daniel Palladino. “We’d like to thank Amazon for all their faith and support, their partnership and enthusiasm, and for letting us hang with our favorite people, the cast and crew of ‘Maisel,’ for a little while longer.”
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has been a worldwide phenomenon, and Season 3 has been no exception, with the series’ most watched opening weekend ever. We’re so happy that our Prime Video customers will get to see Midge’s story continue in Season 4,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. “Amy and Dan have created such funny, charming, relatable characters, all with their inimitable wit and eye for detail, and our customers around the world will be delighted to have another season in the world of ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.’”
Earlier this week “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” scored Golden Globe nods for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy and Best Actress in a Comedy Series (Brosnahan). The much-decorated show has previously taken home 16 Emmy Awards, three Golden Globes, five Critics’ Choice Awards, two PGA Awards, a WGA Award, and a Peabody Award. In 2018 Sherman-Palladino became the first woman to win Emmys for both comedy writing and comedy directing.
