Amazon Studios Greenlights Amy Sherman-Palladino's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel For Two Seasons, Exclusively for Prime Video

The pickup is Amazon Studios' first multi-season greenlight of a new series

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 10, 2017-- (NASDAQ: AMZN)-Amazon announces it has greenlit The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel for an unprecedented two seasons on Prime Video. The Amazon Original Series, from renowned creator Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls) and Executive Producer Daniel Palladino (Family Guy), is Amazon Studios' first multi-season greenlight of a new series in its history.

The series, written and directed by Sherman-Palladino, stars Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards) as Miriam Midge Maisel, a 1958 New York City woman who has everything she's ever wanted-the perfect husband, two kids, and an elegant Upper West Side apartment perfect for hosting Yom Kippur dinner. But her perfect life suddenly takes an unexpected turn and Midge discovers a previously unknown talent-one that changes her life forever. She charts a course that takes her from her comfortable life on Riverside Drive, through the basket houses and nightclubs of Greenwich Village as she storms the world of stand-up comedy a course that will ultimately lead her to a spot on Johnny Carson's couch.

In her onstage debut, Mrs. Maisel killed and had audiences responding overwhelmingly with digital applause, said Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy, Drama & VR, Amazon Studios. Like any great young stand-up, we're excited to see what she has to say next and for a long time to come. That made it an easy decision to order two seasons from Amy and her incredible cast. We can't wait to bring it to customers soon.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel also stars Michael Zegen (Boardwalk Empire) as Midge's husband Joel Maisel, Alex Borstein (Family Guy) as Susie Myerson, Golden Globe winner and three-time Emmy winner Tony Shalhoub (Monk) as Midge's father Abe Weissman, and Marin Hinkle (Two and a Half Men) as Midge's mother Rose Weissman.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel pilot, currently available for all Amazon customers at amazon.com/originals, has garnered an average customer rating of 4.8, with 92% 5-star reviews.

Below are customer quotes for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:

I really enjoyed the pilot and hope that this show gets picked up. I love how Mrs. Maisel is breaking one stereotype after another all while being incredibly hilarious. This one is a winner!

I can't wait to see the rest of this funny, refreshing and very enjoyable program.

Have never written a review before but this is exceptional!. Each character shines as they offer a peek into the life of the star. Looking forward to more!!!
