Moreover, in a recent interview with Collider, Rachel Brosnahan who portrays Miriam “Midge” Maisel, when asked about the finale season stated, “Yeah, it’s bittersweet. But we trust completely that we are in the same fantastic hands and capable hands that we always have been, in Amy [Sherman-Palladino] and Dan [Palladino]. They know when their story should come to a close and how to bring us home. And so, we’re just excited to keep receiving the final scripts. We just finished [episode] three. There’s a couple more. It’s definitely bittersweet, but it’s mostly sweet.”

Amy Sherman-Palladino, the show creator, also stated in an interview with TV Line, “We don’t want to overstay our welcome. Midge has a journey she has to take. It’s the struggle that is fun [as opposed to], ‘I’m sitting in a penthouse and I’m really rich and I’ve got a lot of chihuahuas.’ We know emotionally where we want to end her and at what point we want to cut it off.”
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Potential Release Date
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 has yet to be released on Amazon Prime Video and the official release dates of the upcoming season are not confirmed by the network. On the other hand, the pandemic delayed season 4 by two years, making it difficult to determine when the comedy-drama will return. Having said that, there has typically been a year-long hiatus between seasons as many streaming platforms tend to do so.
So, fans should expect The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 to premiere sometime in 2023. On the other hand, filming began in February 2022, which is a positive indicator for things to go swiftly and in a planned manner, ensuring that the forthcoming season is heading in the right direction in terms of timely completion of production and later post-production to avoid unnecessary delays.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Plot
With the fifth season slated to be The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s final season, we can only hope that Midge’s comedy career will flourish as she heals from being fired by Shy Baldwin in Season 4. The viewers know that Mei Lin informs Joel of her pregnancy in episode six, which indicates that the final series will delve deeper into their connection as they struggle to make their new family scenario work.
Meanwhile, Susie will most likely try to manage Midge’s career alongside Sophie Lennon, as Rose continues her successful match-making business and Abe works on finishing his book and pursuing his aspirations of becoming a theatre critic. On the other hand, Midge might still have hope and continues to find love in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 as well. Many fans are still hoping for her to eventually meet Lenny Bruce. They have also speculated that Dr. Benjamin Ettenberg may make an appearance in the upcoming season.
Why is The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ending after Season 5?
In a statement, the head of Amazon Studios, Jennifer Salke, said: “Amy, Dan [Palladino, executive producer], 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.”
She continued: “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.”
