For fans of Amy Sherman-Palladino's latest project The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, two Golden Globes, two Critics' Choice Awards, and a slew of Emmy wins were mere validation for what they already knew: this show is excellent. Better yet, Midge (the titular Mrs. Maisel) and her stand-up act are coming back to the small screen for a second season. Here's everything we know so far.

We have actual musical numbers to look forward to.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's creator Amy Sherman-Palladino explained why choreographed songs were a natural next step. "We direct musically," she said, and "we often use dancers as extras because they simply physically move better. So we are halfway to a musical anyhow, and this year we created legitimate places to put musical numbers in."

Rachel Brosnahan offered a preview of the upcoming 10-episode run.

As a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Brosnahan gave a quick overview of what Maisel's characters are up against this season. "In season two we find [Midge] sitting on this giant secret," she said of her character's newfound comic talents. "Nobody knows that she's trying this thing that she's got no business doing, as far as anyone else is concerned. And season 2 kind of follows the ripple effect of that on everything around her."

Season two premiered on December 5.

The show revealed the date with a new teaser on Instagram. "Tits up!" reads the caption. "Season 2 of The Marvelous #MrsMaisel debuts 12/5 on @AmazonPrimeVideo."

Sherman-Palladino and her husband Dan Palladino promise season two will be "bigger and fancier."

“We felt like we didn’t want to just give [viewers] more of the same,” Sherman-Palladino told Variety. “We wanted to expand the world a little bit. We’ve tested the patience of Amazon, let’s put it like that.”



The creators also shared that the show will pick up right where season one left off.

The plot will still center around Midge.

In an interview with IndieWire, Brosnahan shared that season two will explore her character's "three very distinctly different worlds."

"She’s a mother and a daughter and a wife…ish," Brosnahan continued. "By the time we leave her at the end of Season 1, she’s a working woman with a job, and she’s also trying her hand at stand-up comedy. And those three worlds, they don’t work together very well. So I look forward to watching her struggle to maintain those three different identities simultaneously.”

In season two we'll also see her hitting the road. "I want to see those two girls stay some nights in shitty hotels and playing some dumpy clubs," Sherman-Palladino told the Hollywood Reporter at the 2018 Producers Guild Awards, referring to Midge and Suzie's tour through the Catskills. "None of [the clubs in "the Borscht Belt, as it was called] exist anymore," Sherman-Palladino said. "We’re going to have to find something and re-create it."



As for what will happen to Joel, played by actor Michael Zegen, things are a little less clear. "Amy and Dan, the creators—I think they just want us to be surprised," Zegan told People about his character's development.

"And I don’t mind that. I like that. As far as what I would like to happen… I don’t know if I can say anything without giving too much away. But I would just like to see Joel be happy."

The cast is heading to the Catskills.

Marin Hinkle, who plays Midge's mom on the show, shared with T&C season two features a Dirty Dancing-esque plot. "You get to see all this dancing and the lives of the Jewish families," she said. "We have all this laughter and comedy that happens there over our summer vacation."

Rachel Brosnahan revealed that the show had another tie to the iconic Catskills rom-com: the set. "One of my favorite things about this resort [we shot in] is that rumor has it, years and years ago this resort turned down Dirty Dancing. And so when we came to them, they were like, 'Get on over here! Sign us up! We can’t miss this chance.'"

They'll also make a stop in Paris.

Details are still largely under wraps, but TV Line reports that the season two premiere has been shot on location the City of Lights. The episode was written and directed by Maisel's showrunner, Amy Sherman-Palladino, and will see multiple cast members—led by Midge herself, Rachel Brosnahan—make the trip.

A season three is already guaranteed.

According to Variety, Amazon has already renewed the show for a third season. Read all of our updates on that here.

Actress Alex Borstein says her character Susie is 'terrified' in season 2.

"[Susie has] pulled this woman out of the comfort of her life and said, 'Trust me, trust me, let’s do this, trust me.' And now it’s a little bit like, 'Holy s—, this girl’s trusting me and her whole life’s in my hands,'" Bornstein explained in a recent interview with Variety. "And I think she’s a little terrified. They’re both terrified but trying to prop the other one up.

Jane Lynch's character is out to get Midge this season.

In last year's season finale, Midge got on the bad side of fellow comedienne Sophie Lennon, played by Jane Lynch. Lennon presents herself to her fans as a homely, exuberant Queens native, but Midge discovers that she's just a wealthy fraud in a fat suit—and soon exposes Lennon during her act.



Although she reportedly won't return until this season's last two episodes, Lennon intends to get even. "Sophie Lennon, as you know, is a stand-up comedian, who in real life is a very smug, self-satisfied erudite woman," Lynch revealed to ET. "Midge, in the last [season], bad-mouthed my character to the entire city of New York, so she exacts her revenge, Sophie does, in the last two episodes of this season."
