In an interview with SlashFilm about her upcoming movie I'm Your Woman, Brosnahan revealed that despite ongoing restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has made filming difficult or impossible for many projects, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will be returning to set soon.
When SlashFilm pointed out that this is typically the time when a new season of Mrs. Maisel would drop on Amazon — and brought up a recent Instagram post from Brosnahan featuring a costume fitting for the show — Brosnahan had some good news. "We're hoping that we're about a little over a month out from production," Brosnahan revealed. "We're hoping to begin shooting in January."
As for the unique hurdles Mrs. Maisel might face, Brosnahan is confident that the creative team will be able to clear them. "I think the biggest challenge will be maintaining the scope and the energy of the show," Brosnahan continued. "So much of the energy and the pacing of the show come from how big the world is and our brilliant background actors. I think about the Gaslight scenes and all the stand-up scenes in particular. We sometimes have hundreds of background actors in those scenes listening and they're my scene partners. We feed off of each other's energy and I'm nervous for how some of those things may have to change. I'm confident in this team that continues to raise the bar for itself every year—always had before this moment. If there was ever a group to rise to the challenge, it's this one. I'm really excited to go back."
Until the fourth season does drop, the first three seasons of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel are streaming on Amazon now.
