The New ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ Season 4 Trailer May or May Not Show Midge Hitting a Cab With a Tree Branch
Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has been delighting fans for three seasons now, and Midge’s combo of wit and determination is must-see TV. And yeah, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 3 debuted in December 2019—truly a lifetime ago by Hollywood standards—but as an intrepid fan, I want more. I want to know what’s happening with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4, dammit!
Thankfully, we’re all in luck, because Amazon confirmed Maisel is getting a fourth season and there are already pictures of it out in the world.

TITS UP, PEOPLE. Let’s gather all available intel for the upcoming season (including new Milo Ventimiglia pics and a surprise Gilmore Girls reunion, hello!!) and see what sticks.
We Have a Date... And a Trailer!
Before we get into all the nitty gritty, you should mark your calendars for February 18, because that's when the show is coming back to Amazon prime. And it'll have a different release schedule this year. Apparently, we're going to get two episodes every Friday for four weeks. Interesting!
Amazon also released a first trailer for the season, and WOW, there is a lot here. Don't mind Midge just trying to change the entire comedy industry!!
Here's the frame we referenced in the headline of this piece, which appears to show Midge... hitting a cab with a palm tree? It's more clear in the video, but even then, we have no idea what this is about. Considering Susie drives a cab, maybe it's her car. TBD.
Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Here's what else we know.
The Cast Will Mostly Be the Same
Maisel isn’t Maisel without, well, the Maisels, so Midge, Joel, Joel’s family, Midge’s family, and Susie will be back for future seasons. They’re the heartbeat of the show. But depending on the year in which season 4 picks up, Lenny Bruce may be missing—the real Lenny Bruce died of a drug overdose in 1966 in his Los Angeles home. So if the Maisel writers want to focus on the later 1960s, Midge may be suffering through the loss of a friend.
Two Beloved Gilmore Girls Stars Will Make an Appearance
Yes, you’re reading this right. Ladies and gents, we give you the newest guest stars of season 4: Milo Ventimiglia and Kelly Bishop!!!
Let’s start with Kelly, shall we? Amazon Prime surprised fans in late June with a colorful (and dramatic!) video of Kelly entering the Maisel-verse in an outfit Emily Gilmore wouldn’t be caught dead in:
This, of course, reunites her with her fellow Gilmore Girls alum Milo, but it’s yet to be seen how their characters interact (if at all).
But speaking of Milo, as #TeamJess fan will know, this role will be his first time teaming up with Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino without wearing a really cool leather jacket and carrying around a book. What do we know about Milo’s role in season 4? Well, as Variety reports, that info is sadly under wraps for now.
But with his chiseled jawline and classic ’50s/’60s looks, Milo’s character might just be a suitor for our dear Midge’s heart, at least by the look of these pics snapped on-set:
*praying to the TV gods for this ’ship to happen*
The Setting Could Change
Season 3 has Midge on tour with Shy Baldwin, so we see Midge working for the USO, in Miami, and other far-flung American cities. If this whole tour thing works out and Midge’s star rises, she might have to move to Los Angeles. It’s the center of the entertainment world in America, after all, and if Midge wants to be as big as she can be, she might have to go cross-country. But don’t worry—you can take the Midge out of New York, but you can’t take the New York out of Midge.
Midge Will Probably Still Be Single
At the end of season 2, Midge had a proposal from Benjamin (hubba hubba) when she decided to go on tour with Shy. The Benjamin thing feels very done, especially now that they had that confrontation at the end of season 3. And then you have Joel, who looks like he’s seriously stepping up for their kids while Midge is gone. Could that happen again? They did hook up once this season. And then there’s Lenny, who is just…hot. IDK, guys. IDK.
The Weissmans Could Have a Whole Different Life
Rose and Abe went through a serious transition in season 3. He quit his teaching job at the end, he tried to do the whole anarchist thing, they moved in with the Maisels, Rose gave up her money, etc. But considering Midge just bought that apartment and decided that her parents would live in it with her, season 4 could be a 180 from what we’ve seen from the couple in season 3.
Susie Could Be a Talent All Her Own
Susie knows a great star when she sees one, and now that she has Midge and (had) Sophie Lennon as clients, who’s to say that Susie’s own management business couldn’t take off? All she has to do is keep Midge going, and other acts may tap her to be their management. Who needs Harry Drake? Susie Myerson will be the name to beat, and maybe she won’t have to print out her business cards one by one.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4 is still way off in the distance, but at least these thought-starters will keep fans going until it’s a reality on our television screens.
And Before You Go—Here Are Some On-Set Photos From the New Season
Okay—how the heck do they all look so fabulous, and where can I shop for the wardrobe? Because these clothes are about to become my summer aesthetic.
