This Monday, Prime Video released the official trailer for the fifth and final season of their hit comedy-drama series, The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel. The season is set to premiere on April 14, via The Hollywood Reporter.
At the beginning of the month, the streaming service released teaser trailer for the series. The series title character, Midge Maisel, played by Rachel Brosnan (House of Cards), continues to face struggles in her road to success in this final season. “It’s two steps forward, three steps back, and I’m tired of it,” Midge says of her stand-up comedy career. In the trailer she also says that she “wants a big life” and “wants to break every single rule there is.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, co-showrunners and married couple Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls) and Daniel Palladino (Family Guys) talked about planning the end of the acclaimed series.
“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 shared with The Hollywood Reporter.

Sherman-Palladino went on to say, “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.”
She continued, “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,” as well as describing that this season the beloved actors, “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.”
The emotional final season of this beloved series will be featuring the return of some familiar faces—including Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls) and Kelly Bishop (Gilmore Girls).
