Where Are They Now? The Cast’s Major 2024-2025 Projects
With the final season having aired, the cast members have quickly transitioned into new and exciting ventures, solidifying their status as A-list talent. The following projects represent the most current and anticipated work from the core ensemble for 2024 and 2025, demonstrating their continued topical authority in the entertainment industry.
Rachel Brosnahan’s Leap to the DC Universe
The most electrifying news from the former Midge Maisel is Rachel Brosnahan’s massive jump into the world of superheroes. Brosnahan is set to portray the iconic journalist Lois Lane in the new DC Universe (DCU) film, Superman. This highly anticipated role marks a significant pivot from the 1950s comedy circuit to a major blockbuster franchise, proving her versatility as an actress. The transition from a period piece to a superhero epic highlights her career trajectory post-Maisel.
Beyond the DCU, Brosnahan is also attached to an upcoming project focusing on the life of legendary comedian Joan Rivers, tentatively titled Last. This role brings her back to the world of stand-up comedy, where she will explore the life of one of Midge Maisel's real-life inspirations.
Michael Zegen’s Return to Netflix and Prestige TV
Michael Zegen, who expertly navigated the complexities of Joel Maisel, has secured a role in a new Netflix TV series titled Too Much, which is slated for release in 2025. This project continues his trend of working on high-quality, character-driven television, following his successful runs on Boardwalk Empire and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. His involvement in Too Much demonstrates the continued demand for the core Maisel cast in the streaming landscape.
Alex Borstein’s Continued Voice and Comedy Work
Alex Borstein’s career remains robust, primarily through her enduring role as the voice of Lois Griffin on Family Guy, a commitment that has spanned over two decades and continues to this day. While specific new acting projects for 2025 are less publicized, Borstein maintains an active presence in stand-up comedy and writing, often incorporating her unique brand of humor and musical talent into various projects and appearances. Her multi-Emmy-winning performance as Susie Myerson remains a benchmark in television comedy.
The Weissmans: Tony Shalhoub and Marin Hinkle
Both Tony Shalhoub and Marin Hinkle have long, respected careers that pre-date the Amazon series. Shalhoub, a seasoned theater and screen actor, has expressed a desire to continue working on new projects, stating he is "ready to do more" following the demanding schedule of Maisel. Hinkle, similarly, has a prolific career spanning stage and screen. While no definitive new 2025 series has been announced for either, their enduring presence in Hollywood ensures they will continue to be cast in significant roles, maintaining the high standard of acting they set as Abe and Rose Weissman.
The Enduring Legacy of the Palladinoverse and Topical Authority
The finale of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel cemented its place in television history, not just as an award-winning series, but as a critical pillar of Amazon Prime Video's content library. The show’s narrative, which explored themes of female ambition, breaking societal norms, and the struggle of a working woman in the mid-20th century, continues to resonate with modern audiences, giving it long-term topical authority.
A Cultural Phenomenon
The series, often referred to as part of the "Palladinoverse" alongside Gilmore Girls due to the creators' signature fast-paced, witty dialogue, was a critical darling. It amassed 20 Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes over its five-season run. This level of critical acclaim ensures that the show will be studied and referenced for years to come, particularly in discussions about period dramas and the representation of women in comedy.
The Power of the Ensemble
Beyond the central trio, the show’s success relied on a deep bench of talented actors, including Kevin Pollak (Moishe Maisel) and Caroline Aaron (Shirley Maisel). Aaron, in particular, has maintained a prolific career with new projects in 2024-2025, further illustrating the continued activity of the entire ensemble cast. The show’s focus on the entire family unit—the Weissmans and the Maisels—made it a rich tapestry of New York Jewish life in the 1950s.
The Style and Setting
The meticulous recreation of 1950s New York City and the show's iconic style were characters in themselves. The vibrant costumes, the detailed set designs of the Upper West Side, and the smoky, intimate atmosphere of the stand-up comedy clubs like The Gaslight Cafe all contributed to its unique aesthetic. The show's influence on fashion and period drama production remains a significant part of its legacy.
In conclusion, while Midge Maisel's story has reached its dazzling finale, the careers of the talented ensemble cast are only accelerating. From Rachel Brosnahan's transition to a DC superhero and Michael Zegen's new Netflix drama to Alex Borstein's ongoing comedy empire, the stars of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel continue to shape the entertainment landscape, proving that their marvelous run was just the beginning.
