Ahead of the premiere of season four of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Prime Video announced that the comedy will return for one last chapter.

“Amy, Dan, 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,” Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, said in a statement. “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.”

Salke added, “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.”

Maisel first premiered in 2017, and has followed the career of housewife turned stand-up comedian Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) as she finds her voice. The show garnered nominations for 66 Emmys over the course of the first four seasons, notching 20 wins so far.
