What is ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ about?

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel takes place in the late 1950s and early ’60s. Rachel Brosnahan stars as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a housewife in New York who wants to help her husband break into comedy. However, Midge soon discovers that she has a talent for stand-up comedy herself. Much to the dismay of her parents, she pursues a career in comedy alongside budding talent manager Susie (Alex Borstein). The series follows Midge’s zany adventures and romances as she moves up in the comedy world.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino. (Yes, the couple behind Gilmore Girls and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life!) Fans of the Palladinos’ quick wit and pop culture references will love Mrs. Maisel.
