On April 26, 2022, Prime Video announced that Kelly Bishop, who plays Benedetta, will return as a guest star, meaning more drama will ensue for Rose’s matchmaking service.
Alfie Fuller and Jason Ralph will also be back, but with much bigger roles, as they’ve been upped to series regulars. Fuller played Dinah Rutledge, Susie’s receptionist. Ralph, who is the husband of Brosnahan and best known for playing Quentin Coldwater on The Magicians, will be back as Mike Carr, the talent booker for the fictional Gordon Ford Show.
Meanwhile, Maisel has also added Peter Friedman (Succession), Chloë Kerwin (Asleep in My Palm), Austin Basis (Supernatural), Josh Grisetti (Nurse Jackie), Michael Cyril Creighton (Only Murders in the Building), Eddie Kaye Thomas (American Dad!, Scorpion), and Lucas Kavner (The Jim Jeffries Show) as new and recurring characters.
Will Midge be super successful in the end? And will she and Joel get back together?
Even if I knew, you think I’d spoil it for you?! While Sherman-Palladino doesn’t like to reveal much, she did give us some insight, saying, “So while we have not written the final episode, we know what the final image is. I have always liked doing that, the whole weird, last four words of Gilmore Girls that became this weird sort of Sasquatch urban legend thing and all anybody wanted to talk about for a long time. But for somebody like me, I need to know what my endgame is…and that helps me push toward it.”
She continues: “Some people don’t like to do that. Some people just like to see where stuff takes them. I wish I could be one of those people. I think they live longer, but I kind of need to know my end game. So we know what the last image is. We don’t know what the last four words are, but we do know the image that we’re going out on. I know a lot of what’s going into the last episode, but we have a lot of people to service here. These characters deserve proper send-offs whether, it’s good, bad, and/or different.”
