Although the season has been under production for a few months now, no information on a potential release date has been revealed.
However, it is anticipated that the fifth and final season will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in the last quarter of 2023 (i.e. from Oct to Dec 2023).
What will be the plot of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5?
The season four finale back in March had a tumultuous ending with some serious questions left unanswered. What’s happening with Midge’s love life? Will she finally get together with Lenny Bruce? How is Joel’s family going to react to his girlfriend Mei being pregnant with his baby? Will Rose continues her matchmaking business after receiving threats? The final season is expected to answer all these questions.
Producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino hinted to The Hollywood Reporter in March about Midge’s and Lenny’s journey.
“Knowing that season five was going to be our last and that we only had so much turf to play on helped to free up a little bit of what we did with him personally,” Amy told the website.
She continued: “And it felt like it fit, frankly, with the journey that Midge is on, that she’s so doggedly trying to find the right way for herself — whether it’s misguided or not — and this mission that she set herself on this year that she felt it was like, ‘It’s my way or the highway.’ It felt like the shake-up needed to happen from somebody who understood her, revered her.”
Who is in the cast of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5?
The core cast will return for the upcoming season. Here’s a look at the cast members expected to return for Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5:
- Rachel Brosnahan as Miriam Midge Maisel
- Alex Borstein as Susie Myerson, Midge’s manager
- Michael Zegen as Joel Maisel, Midge’s ex-husband

- Marin Hinkle as Rose Weissman, Midge’s mother
- Kevin Pollak as Moishe Maisel, Joel’s father
- Caroline Aaron as Shirley Maisel, Joel’s mother

In addition to the actors mentioned above, This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia will also return after a short appearance in the fourth season. Viewers may remember him as the married “Handsome Man,” who Midge slept with late last season.
“We will see a nice, more extensive part 2 to ‘Milo and Rachel,'” executive producer Daniel Palladino told TVLine. Kelly Bishop will be making a return as a series regular.
Is there any trailer?
Currently, there is no trailer for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5. However, we’ll update you the moment any news comes out. Meanwhile, here’s the trailer for the fourth season to give you the essence of how beautiful this show is.
Why the fifth season is the final season?
Though the fans are ready to say goodbye to the show, all good things come to an end. In an interview with People, series star Kevin Pollak justified why this is a good time to end the show with season 5.
“Amy and Dan, from the very beginning, while we were shooting season 1 before anyone had seen anything beyond the pilot, made it very clear to all of us, in success, if we’re lucky enough, this is a five-season show,” he told the magazine. “They saw an arc or they saw a story they wanted to tell. They saw the ending that they wanted to take.”
On Nov 5, 2002, Rachel Brosnahan announced that the show not only wrapped its fifth season, but she was emotional about the experience of filming the final scenes of the series.
That’s a series wrap on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel,” she wrote. “This thing was lightning in a bottle. A cast, a crew and creators who got to time travel for 5 years together. It changed my life. I’m eternally grateful. I’ll have more words later, but for now … Thank you and goodnight.”

Showrunner Alex Borstein also shared her thoughts on her own Instagram account.
“The end,” she captioned the November 5 post. “Maisel is no more. I told myself that I wouldn’t get too close, that I wouldn’t fall in love. Yet here I am, heart fractured, with tiny chips now missing here and there … But if and when she should mend, perhaps it will be those empty in-betweens that will remind me of what’s missing. Of what once was. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel once was. And it was marvelous, indeed. 💔.”
