Amazon gives 'Mrs. Maisel' third season just months after premiere
If it wasn't already apparent that Amazon has a lot of confidence in Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, it is now. The internet giant has confirmed a third season of the 1950s comedy/drama before the second season has even premiered -- and that's after ordering two seasons right out of the gate. That kind of trust in a show isn't completely unheard of for Amazon (just ask the creators of Jack Ryan), but it's rare when streaming services frequently order one season and wait until after a show's debut to make another commitment.
'Gilmore Girls' creator's Amazon series debuts November 29th
If you were wondering how Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino would tackle her Amazon original series beyond the pilot episode, you now have a good idea. Amazon has posted the first trailer for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and you can tell that Sherman-Palladino is taking advantage of the creative freedom that comes with an internet-only show. Where Gilmore Girls was best described as quirky, Mrs. Maisel is gritty and raunchy. Its namesake '50s comedienne doesn't shy away from exploring sex and swearing at a time when the media pretended they didn't exist.
Netflix wants another 'Gilmore Girls' season
Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino already knew what the last four words of the show would be when it started shooting in 2000. Sixteen years later, those lines were finally delivered last year in Netflix's mini-series revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (spoilers via Entertainment Weekly). The finale brought closure to the long-standing mystery, but also left room for the show to continue. Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos told the UK's Press Association he wants more of the Gilmores, so this just might happen.
