The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Interview: Tony Shalhoub & Marin Hinkle
30Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Season 5 Episode 7 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
We are now deep into the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The period comedy-drama follows the life of the titular Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) who goes from becoming a housewife in the late 1950s to becoming a stand-up comic in New York. Her bawdy and irreverent humor makes her a hit to her audiences, but given the time period, not everyone in her family is thrilled about her career choices. In the fifth season, we see the conclusion of Midge's story, as well as a flash forward in time where we see how the rest of the lives of the Maisels and Weissman play out.
We spoke with Tony Shalhoub and Marin Hinkle about the final season. Shalhoub and Hinkle play Midge's parents, Abe and Rose Weissman, respectively. This season, their story focuses on different aspects of Abe and Rose's life. With Abe, we look at his relationship with his grandchildren, specifically with his granddaughter Esther. Abe, the consummate intellectual, is delighted to learn that his granddaughter is a genius. Meanwhile, Rose continues to struggle with her matchmaking business this season, but in the flash forward we see her career has flourished. Or has it?
In "A House Full of Extremely Lame Horses", in the flash forward, we learn that Rose's business as a matchmaker is bleeding a lot of money from future Midge's account, so much so that it would simply be easier to pay her a salary. But Midge is set on making her mother happy for whatever time she has left.
We also talked generally about the series, their experiences on the show, and the filmic quality of the series.
