It's the late 1950s and Miriam "Midge" Maisel has everything she has ever wanted -- the perfect husband, two kids and an elegant apartment on New York's Upper West Side. Her seemingly idyllic life takes a surprising turn when she discovers a hidden talent she didn't previously know she had -- stand-up comedy. This revelation changes her life forever as she begins a journey that takes her from her comfortable life on the Upper West Side through the cafes and nightclubs of Greenwich Village as she makes her way through the city's comedy industry on a path that could ultimately lead her to a spot on the "Tonight Show" couch.
Season 3 will feature eight episodes. That's the same number of episodes as the show's debut season, but unfortunately just two shy of Season 2's 10. That means there may be fewer quippy lines to savor like your favorite Carnegie Deli sandwich, but it's all in Sherman-Palladino's hands, as she said with the "flexibility" that Amazon's given the series, they're not trying to rush their ideas and hope "everything good gets on screen."
At the end of Season 2, Midge was presented with the potentially life-changing opportunity to join a musician on tour as the opening comedic act, a gig she felt compelled to take. This sets up Season 3 to follow her on this new adventure, it's the first time she's setting out as a road comic, it's the first time she's getting paid for this, it's the first time she’s going to have consistency, and she's dealing with audiences that aren't her people.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 3 premieres December 6, 2019.
