Following the renewal, Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy, Drama & VR for Amazon Studios, released a statement. “In her onstage debut, “Mrs. Maisel” killed and had audience responding overwhelmingly with digital applause. 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 customers soon,” he said.

“Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” follows the life of Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Brosnahan), a woman living in Manhattan. She recently finds out that she has a talent for stand-up comedy. The cast also includes Michael Zegan, Alex Borstein, Tony Shalhoub and Marin Hinkle. As of late, it is still unclear how many episodes Season 2 will have.

Meanwhile, Sherman-Palladino recently worked with Amazon’s rival, Netflix, for the “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.” The four-episode sequel was released on the streaming site in November. Earlier this week, rumors swirled that a second season for “A Year in the Life” may be a go. However, “Gilmore Girls” star Lauren Graham told Deadline that she and her co-star, Alexis Bledel, have not yet been asked to return.

“I don’t know if there’s a need to do more. I would never want to feel like we overstayed our welcome… There’s probably a way to keep these characters alive but I don’t know if that’s the best thing for them,” she said.
