Yahoo News The Marvelous Mrs Maisel to end with season 5
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel season 5 has been ordered by streaming service Amazon Prime Video, but there's a catch: it'll be the comedy-drama's final outing.
Anchored around the swinging '60s, the show orbits New York housewife Midge Maisel (played here to Golden Globe-winning success by Rachel Brosnahan) who pursues a career in stand-up comedy.
Supporting cast members include Alex Borstein, Michael Zegen, Kevin Pollak and Jane Lynch.

"Amy [Sherman-Palladino], Dan [Palladino] and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel have blazed an unparalleled path, elevating the stories we tell about women, challenging the norms in our industry, and forever altering the entertainment landscape with their one-of-a-kind storytelling," stated Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke (via TVLine).
"The dozens of awards cement Maisel's legacy in many ways, but what's even more enduring and poignant are the characters Amy created and the joyous, brilliant, singular world she and Dan brought to life.
"This series has meant so much to Prime Video and the effects of its success will be felt long after its final season. I can't wait for fans and our worldwide Prime Video audience to savour each moment as we embark on the culmination of this groundbreaking and unforgettable series."

Weighing in on the situation yesterday (February 17), Brosnahan revealed to her fanbase via Instagram: "A few days ago we started shooting Season 5 (!) of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. It's bittersweet. The band is back together again and we can't wait to share season 4 with you starting tomorrow... it's also going to be our last rodeo.
"Rest assured our tits are up and it's going to be a hell of a final chapter. Stay tuned."
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel season 4 premieres today (Friday, February 18) on Amazon Prime Video.
