Amazon has handed out a two-season order to one of its pilots.
The retail giant/streaming service has handed out a two-season order for Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The hourlong pilot, one of five currently online for "viewer feedback," stars House of Cards alum Rachel Brosnahan as Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a 1958 New York City housewife who, through a series of events, winds up exploring the world of stand-up comedy.
"In her onstage debut, Mrs. Maisel killed and had audiences responding overwhelmingly with digital applause,” Amazon head of comedy and drama Joe Lewis said. “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 bring it to customers soon.”
