Last Thanksgiving, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore returned to TV screens in Netflix's Gilmore Girls revival. The reunion was 10 years in the making, and it served as the perfect cure for turkey-induced comatose. This year, Gilmore creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino have a new show they hope will capture that same holiday-weekend viewing magic: Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Set in the 1950s, the dramedy follows New York housewife Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) as her perfect suburban life is upended. Her husband, an aspiring but talentless comedian decides to end their marriage, sending Midge to find solitude in the dive bar where her husband tried out standup routines. Drunk, Midge finds herself onstage and lamenting her failed relationship—which delights the crowd. Turns out Midge is the comedy talent in the family, which opens up a new path for her.

Fresh from its success at the Golden Globes in January, production on the second season of Amazon's new hit show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is already underway—in Paris.

Photo: Nicole Rivelli/Amazon Prime Video Throughout the run of Gilmore Girls, Lorelai Gilmore made a determined effort to escape the suffocating expectations set by her parents and the wealthy society into which she was born.

She sees her mom and dad (Marin Hinkle and Tony Shalhoub), her go-to babysitters, at least once a day. Miriam, nicknamed Midge, even follows the same nightly routine as her … [Read more...] about Can We Talk About How Charming
