'The Marvelous Mrs Maisel' is back for one final act as the Emmy-winning series comes to its close.
Ahead of the season premiere, the creator of the series, Amy Sherman-Palladino opened up about the intertwined lives of the characters, Midge Maisel and Susie Myerson played by Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein respectively. "As much as this was a show about Midge's journey, it was equally in our minds a show about the two of them. It's about two women — at a time when women were not expected to be ambitious or powerful or vocal — who find each other. Two women who never would've been friends in a million years if they had passed each other on the street, but who saw something in each other," says Amy.
Actress Alex Borstein, who has won accolades for her portrayal of Susie in the series, says that the season has managed to represent wo-mance perfectly on the screen. She believes that it is a tale of platonic love between two women and is about connection, complexity, and the unwavering faith that two individuals have in one another. Sharing her views on the Womance between Midge and her character, Alex says, “This is the love story of the show. It's not a physical or sexual relationship, but it really is a love story. They can't make it without each other. Susie's not gonna be able to win a race because she's not running in it. Midge is her horse and she's… is she the owner or is she the jockey? It's one of those."
'The Marvelous Mrs Maisel' is an American period comedy-drama television series, that will be available for streaming from April 14, 2023.
