The Marvelous Mrs Maisel season five plot

The official synopsis for series five reads: "In the fifth and final season, Midge finds herself closer than ever to the success she's dreamed of, only to discover that closer than ever is still so far away."

Who will star in season five of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel?

As Deadline reports, "the show's entire series regular cast, led by Rachel Brosnahan, is coming back," meaning that as well as the lovable Midge, fans can expect to see manager Susie, played by Alex Borstein, ex-husband Joel played Michael Zegen and parents Rose and Abe, played by Marin Hinkle and Tony Shalhoub respectively, return for season five. Luke Kirby will, of course, be back as the inimitable Lenny Bruce.

Veep star Reid Scott has joined the cast for season five

It also seems that viewers can look forward to even more incredible guest stars following Milo Ventimiglia, Hari Nef and Kelly Bishop's roles in season four. Already confirmed for the new episodes is Veep alum Reid Scott. The actor is back as fictitious talk show host Gordon Ford. Reid had previously starred in four episodes of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, but has now been promoted to a series regular. While little is known about his character's arc in season five, it looks like he's set to get quite cosy with our favourite comedienne if behind-the-scene snaps from filming are to be believed!

Why is The Marvelous Mrs Maisel ending?

Show bosses confirmed that the series would be coming to an end earlier this year when the announcement for season five was made. 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."
