The Marvelous Mrs Maisel season 5 plot
The fifth and final season will continue from where the fourth left off, with Midge Maisel rebuilding her career and standing after being cut from her tour with singer Shy Baldwin.
The finale of the fourth run saw Midge walk out of Carnegie Hall reinvigorated and had an epiphany after glimpsing a snowy billboard for The Gordon Ford Show, getting ready to "Go Forward" in her endeavours and fight for stardom.
The official synopsis for the final season 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."
Of course, Midge's romantic life will also be a question needing to be addressed, having pursued a brief passionate encounter with troubled fellow comic Lenny Bruce (Luke Kirby).
However, the new season will see Midge reunited with Milo Ventimiglia's "Handsome Man".
Of course, Midge will also be forever connected to her ex-husband Joel Maisel, with whom she shares two children: Ethan and Esther.
