The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which premiered November 29, 2017 on Amazon Prime, has fared well this awards season, sweeping up two Golden Globes and two Critics Choice Awards, among others. At the 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards, the series collected eight more accolades including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series.
The show also boasts awards for Alex Borstein (Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series), Rachel Brosnahan (Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series) and the show’s creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino (Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series).
These awards are a great achievement—in fact, Sherman Palladino’s show broke the record for most Emmys won for a comedy in a single season. If you weren’t already a fan, this should certainly prompt reason to watch.
The show, which takes place in 1950s New York City, follows the life of a young affluent housewife Miriam “Midge” Maisel as she falls into the world of stand-up comedy. Although season two does not have an official release date, other than the fact that it’s “coming out this year.” You can watch the season two trailer here.
