Rachel Brosnahan reflects on her time as TheMarvelousMrs.Maisel, Midge and Susie’s love story and Midge’s final stand-up set.
ended her Emmy-winning Amazon series by sprinkling flash-forwards through the show’s fifth and final season. Viewers saw where the beloved title character ended up, most satisfyingly in ahighlight reel that rattles off her accomplishments and marriages. In the series finale, “Four Minutes,” we finally learn how Midge gets her major break: by again taking a chance, grabbing a mic, and performing another rogue stand-up act.
It was a surprise to get all of these flash-forwards—seeing what Midge’s kids are up to as adults, hearing that Midge went on to marry and divorce Paul Simon and Quincy Jones. What were some of your favorite details about where Midge landed? Well, the cabbage patch that she literally landed in in Israel [to visit her adult son Ethan]—I couldn’t have seen that coming from a hundred miles away. One of my favorite parts about shooting the season was shooting all the still photos that appear briefly in Midge’s penthouse [in the finale]. I don’t know if you got to look at those—the genius of our production design is that you only see them for about four seconds.
Oh, there was no rehearsal before the day. I probably got the final version of that set about 48 hours before we shot it. And immediately panicked that I wasn’t going to be able to learn this volume of material in such a short period of time. It was intimidating, but it’s so beautifully written and it really flows.
