Premise
[edit]Season 1: In 1958 New York City, Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a young, affluent Jewish-American housewife, embarks on a stand-up comedy career after husband Joel, an untalented amateur comic, abruptly leaves her following his dismal set at The Gaslight Cafe. Drunk and dejected, Midge returns to the Gaslight in her nightgown, and in a bawdy impromptu set, vents her predicament before being arrested for indecency. Midge meets famed comic Lenny Bruce when he is arrested the same night for using profanity in his act. Gaslight manager Susie Myerson, recognizing Midge's raw talent, coaches her on stand-up comedy.
Season 2: As Midge secretly hones her comic skills at the Gaslight Café, she and Susie also hit the road. Touring is hard and female comics are generally disparaged and discriminated against. Midge rejects comedian Sophie Lennon's notion that female comics need a gimmicky persona to compete in a male-dominated field and instead performs as herself, adopting the stage name, "Mrs. Maisel". After Midge disparages Sophie's corny act, Sophie's vindictive manager gets Midge blacklisted from New York clubs. Midge perseveres and gets a huge break as the opening act for famous singer Shy Baldwin's upcoming tour.
Season 3: Midge balances career and family life while touring with Shy Baldwin; she retools her act for non-New York audiences. After divorcing, Midge and Joel remain in each other's lives while navigating new relationships. Joel branches out by opening a small nightclub in New York's Chinatown, soon discovering the landlords operate an illegal gambling den downstairs. Tensions arise when Midge initially objects to Susie managing other clients, including Sophie Lennon; is unaware that Susie relies on mob connections for professional assistance. After carelessly alluding to Shy's homosexuality during a set, Midge is fired.
Season 4: Following the Shy Baldwin debacle, Midge vows to only do headliner gigs, though with little success. Sophie Lennon gives Midge a professional break before jealously thwarting her career again. Meanwhile, Joel's busy nightclub draws unwanted attention to his landlords' illegal activities. Midge becomes the comic emcee at the Wolford burlesque club, contentedly languishing there until a police raid closes it. Lenny Bruce helps Midge regain her confidence and reboot her career.
Season 5: The story covers the 1960s – 2000s. In the early 60s, Midge, still struggling professionally, is hired as a writer for The Gordon Ford Show and competes against male co-workers. Glimpses into the future reveal: Midge fires Susie after learning her mob ties entangled Joel in illegal activities to protect Midge. As Midge's career climbs, Lenny Bruce descends into drug addiction. After seizing an opportunity, Midge becomes a major comedy star but has a messy personal life with multiple marriages, lost loved ones, strained relationships, including her two adult children, and eventual reconciliations. Throughout, Midge and Joel stay close.

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]In developing the series, Amy Sherman-Palladino was inspired by childhood memories of her father, a standup comedian based in New York City, and an admiration for early female comics such as Joan Rivers and Totie Fields.[3][4][5]
In June 2016, Amazon gave the production a pilot order, with the pilot episode written and executive produced by Sherman-Palladino.[6] In April 2017, Amazon gave the production a two-season order, to be executive produced by Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino with Dhana Gilbert as a producer.[7] On May 20, 2018, Amazon renewed the series for a third season of eight episodes.[8][9] One week after season three was released, Amazon renewed the show for a fourth season.[10] On February 17, 2022, Amazon renewed the series for a fifth and final season.[11]
Casting
[edit]On August 5, 2016, Rachel Brosnahan was cast in the pilot's lead role.[12] In September 2016, it was reported that Tony Shalhoub and Michael Zegen had joined the pilot's main cast.[13][14] On October 6, 2016, Marin Hinkle was cast in one of the pilot's main roles.[15] In May 2017, it was reported that Joel Johnstone, Caroline Aaron, Kevin Pollak, and Bailey De Young were set to appear in recurring roles.[16][17]
On May 23, 2018, Zachary Levi was announced to appear in the second season in a recurring capacity.[18] On August 15, 2018, it was reported that Jane Lynch would reprise her role of Sophie Lennon in recurring capacity in season two.[19]
On April 15, 2019, it was announced that Sterling K. Brown would appear in the third season in an undisclosed role.[20] The October 14, 2019, release of the season's teaser trailer revealed that Liza Weil would also play an undisclosed character.[21]
On June 21, 2021, Kayli Carter was announced to appear in the fourth season in a recurring capacity.[22] Other season 4 guest stars include Milo Ventimiglia and Kelly Bishop, who both appeared on Gilmore Girls, which was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino.[23][24] Additional season 4 guest stars include Jason Ralph (who is Rachel Brosnahan's real-life husband) and filmmaker John Waters.[25][26] For the fifth season, Reid Scott, Alfie Fuller, and Jason Ralph were promoted to series regulars after having recurring roles in the fourth season.[27]
Filming
[edit]Principal photography for the pilot took place from September 27 to October 14, 2016, in Manhattan.[28] Filming for the fourth season began on January 20, 2021[29][30] and wrapped in early July 2021.[31] Filming for the fifth season began in late February 2022 in New York City.[11]
Locations
[edit]Exterior shots for the Gaslight Club were filmed in October 2016 outside 96 St. Mark's Place in the East Village, the building featured on the cover of Led Zeppelin's 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
Other New York locations included The Village Vanguard jazz club on Seventh Avenue South, a vintage record store on West 4th Street, and Albanese Meats & Poultry, a butcher shop on Elizabeth Street in Little Italy. Exterior scenes set at the B. Altman department store were filmed at the B. Altman and Company Building at Fifth Avenue, while interiors were shot in a disused bank in Brooklyn.[32]
Season 2's scenes set at the holiday resort in the Catskills were filmed on location at a holiday resort on the Oquaga Lake near Deposit. Paris scenes were filmed at various real-life locations in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, and at the Musée Rodin at Hôtel Biron.[32] One of the hotels in season 3 was the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.[33]
Oners
[edit]The show makes frequent use of "oners", extended single-shot scenes. "Going to the Catskills" offers a two-minute oner depicting Midge and her family getting rambunctiously resettled in their summer home in the Catskills. It included a half-dozen overlapping vignettes.[34] In "Strike Up the Band", in a 12-page scene, Midge comes into their apartment to find her parents fighting, with her clothes scattered everywhere. In another, Midge and Susie ride in an open Jeep to an airplane hangar where Midge will later open for Shy. The camera follows them from the Jeep into the hangar, where soldiers manhandle her onto the stage, which she crosses while waving to the nearly 1,000 soldiers facing her before she is lifted back into the Jeep.[35]
Design
[edit]The "apartment" where Midge and her husband Joel live was created on the same set as the apartment where Midge's parents live, but with more modern (late-1950s) design, inspired in part by Doris Day movies, according to production designer Bill Groom.[36] The "retro" typeface used for the show's logo is Sparkly by Stuart Sandler of Font Diner.[37] The show's distinctive designs and costumes—most notably the women's hats and dresses—led the Paley Center for Media to create an exhibit called "Making Maisel Marvelous" in 2019.[38]
The design of a Cuban dance number in episode 5 of season 3 was inspired by the 1964 film I Am Cuba, which is a favorite film of series cinematographer M. David Mullen.[39]
In December 2019, two costumes from the series were acquired by the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution.[40]
Release
[edit]Marketing
[edit]On October 10, 2017, the official trailer for the first season was released.[41] On August 9, 2018, a teaser trailer for the second season was released.[42] On October 24, 2018, the official trailer for season two was released.[43] From December 1–8, 2018, Amazon opened up a pop-up restaurant in Manhattan's Nolita neighborhood modeled after Carnegie Deli as it appeared during the 1950s. The restaurant served a menu much more limited than what was actually offered at the original deli with the only two sandwich options being "The Maisel" and "The Susie." Other items offered included mini knishes, black and white cookies, cheesecake, and pickles. As the restaurant was purely for promotional purposes, nothing on the menu cost more than 99 cents, and all the proceeds went to support the Lower Eastside Girls Club.[44]
In August 2019, to promote the show for the upcoming 71st Primetime Emmy Awards, Amazon partnered with various businesses in and around Santa Monica, California, to provide goods and services at 1959 prices. The offer to sell gasoline at $0.30 per gallon led to long queues and traffic jams in front of the gas station that offered the promotion, forcing police to intervene.[45][46]
Premiere
[edit]The series held its official premiere on November 13, 2017, at the Village East Cinema in New York City.[47] It premiered as a part of Amazon's Spring 2017 pilot season on March 17, 2017.[48] The remainder of the first season was released on November 29, 2017.[41] The second season premiered on December 5, 2018,[43] and the third season premiered December 6, 2019.[49]

Club praised the "outstanding" production design and said "this is a series that's as confident as its heroine—and what a heroine she is."[65] A critic for Slate called the episode "a knockout", stating that the stand-up element "introduces a welcome streak of discipline, both verbal and thematic, into Sherman-Palladino's charming but manic work."[66]
