Two Season Order for Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Amazon has greenlit The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel for two seasons on Prime Video.

The pickup marks Amazon Studios’ first multi-season greenlight of a new series. The Amazon original comes from creator Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls) and executive producer Daniel Palladino (Family Guy).

The series, written and directed by Sherman-Palladino, stars Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards) as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a 1958 New York City woman who has everything she’s ever wanted. Her perfect life is turned upside down when her talents thrust her into the world of stand-up comedy.

“In her onstage debut, Mrs. Maisel killed and had audiences responding overwhelmingly with digital applause,” said Joe Lewis, the head of comedy, drama and VR at Amazon Studios. “Like any great young stand-up, we’re excited to see what she has to say next and for a long time to come. That made it an easy decision to order two seasons from Amy and her incredible cast. We can’t wait to bring it to customers soon.”
