In 2020, Amy told TVLine that the most interesting part of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was Midge's mistakes, not her triumphs. Amy said in the interview, "We don’t want to overstay our welcome. Midge has a journey she has to take. It’s the struggle that is fun [as opposed to], ‘I’m sitting in a penthouse and I’m really rich and I’ve got a lot of chihuahuas.’ We know emotionally where we want to end her and at what point we want to cut it off."Article continues below advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rachel Brosnahan (@rachelbrosnahan) When will Season 5 premiere Thankfully, the reason for the show's cancellation appears to be solely so Midge can exit, stage left on a high note.

As of March 2, 2022, Prime Video has yet to confirm what the episode count will be for Season 5. Given that Seasons 1, 3, and 4 had eight episodes and only Season 2 had 10, we'd have to assume that Season 5 will likely have eight episodes in total as well. It's certainly sad to know that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will be ending after Season 5. However, at least it's on the show creator's own terms, rather than due to low ratings or network prodding. Let's hope Season 5 gives Midge the last hurrah she deserves.
