The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel renewed for third season before second series even airs
Golden Globe-winning series from Amazon is written by Amy Sherman-Palladino and stars Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein
The second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is not even airing until later this year, but the show has already been given the green light for a third season.
Variety reported that the show’s creator appealed to Amazon Studios executives on Saturday night, while accepting a Peabody Award at the awards show in New York City.
“You’re going to give it to us, because we’re bringing home the fancy thing, right?” Amy Sherman-Palladino said.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel tells the story of a Jewish housewife in 1950s New York who becomes a standup comedian.
It is set in the very Jewish milieu of Manhattan’s Upper West Side and is full of Jewish references.
The show, which stars Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein, garnered acclaim last year and won two Golden Globes in January for best comedy series and best lead comedy actress.
It is seen as a prime contender at the upcoming Emmy Awards in the autumn.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
