Tony Shalhoub, Marin Hinkle, and Rachel Brosnahan in a sceneThe first season of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel (TMMM), which won two Golden Globe Awards and five Primetime Emmy Awards, ended with Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) finally finding her voice and her identity, and her ex-husband Joel (Michael Zegen) coming to terms with the fact that his wife is funnier than he is. Season two takes this forward, not just for Midge, but also for Joel, her father Abraham Weissman (Tony Shalhoub) and her mother, Rose Weissman (Marin Hinkle). We speak with Zegen, Shalhoub and Hinkle, over the phone from Milan. Excerpts:

Even though the show is called The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, the supporting cast and their characters are developed very strongly.
Michael Zegen: Yes, Rachel is the lead, titular character, she is like our fearless leader but I very much feel that the show is an ensemble show.
Tony Shalhoub: Its thrilling to work on this material – Dan Palladino and Amy Sherman-Palladino (show runners/creators), the way they have created this universe.

Marin Hinkle: In the end, its all about family. Amy and Dan are show runners. They set the tone. They love family. If you look at their other works as well, Gilmore Girls for example, they have such an appreciation of the family dynamic, that they constantly bring those emotions to the fore.
TMMMs first season was quite a tongue-in-cheek critique of the rollicking sixties. Midge breaks the mould.

TS: The series shows us how far we have come, and yet how far we have to go. Joel is an unusual man. He loves Midge, but he has done this stupid unfortunate thing of leaving her. Yet he stays by her and supports her in her chosen line of work, even though that means that they cant be together. Thats a very mature thought.
MZ: Joel knew what he was getting into, when he married Midge. She was not the quintessential anything. Midge was opinionated and brash, and completely not OK with taking the back seat. He put himself in that situation, but yes, I dont think that was the norm at that time. In season two, he redeems himself, in some way.
What can we expect from Season Two?

MH: Well for Rose, its an exciting time. She goes to Paris on a kind of soul-searching ques. She escapes from all the boxes that she has been slotted into. The show just grows, and many characters who have no idea of each others existence are interacting in this one, its all very combustive and joyous.
TS: In the first season, Midge fought to keep her worlds separate – work, family, the department store. In season two, her worlds start to collide, and there are interesting ramifications of it all.
Does TMMM works better because it is available on a streaming service?
MH: The digital platform is here to stay. As long as we have interesting narratives coming in, it can go on forever. Though the streaming services are relatively new, they dont have producers breathing down their neck, and telling show creators what to put in their shows and what not. For TMMM, we have Amy and Dan, and for the most part Amazon lets them do their thing.
TS: The digital platform will change, as all things and mediums do in this industry. People and their consuming patters change. It will be very interesting to see how the patterns emerge in the coming five years. But yes, a TMMM works very well here.
TMMM is available on Amazon Prime
