As of December 2025, the curtain has officially closed on the groundbreaking, Emmy-winning series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but the careers of its incredible cast are just hitting their stride. After five seasons of dazzling 1950s and 60s fashion, rapid-fire dialogue, and stellar performances, the beloved actors have quickly transitioned into a new era of blockbuster films, major television roles, and critically acclaimed stage work, ensuring they remain firmly in the spotlight.
Fans who miss Midge, Susie, and the Weissman/Maisel clan are in luck. The main cast members are proving that their time on the Amazon Prime Video hit was merely a springboard, with updates in late 2024 and throughout 2025 confirming a host of fresh, high-profile projects. From a major DC Comics role to a new CNN documentary series, here is the ultimate, up-to-the-minute guide on what the marvelous cast is doing now.
The Main Cast: Biographical Profiles and On-Screen Persona
The success of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel hinged on its ensemble, a tight-knit group of veteran and breakout actors who brought a vibrant, complex world to life. Below is a detailed look at the core cast members and the iconic characters they portrayed.
- Rachel Brosnahan (Miriam "Midge" Maisel): The titular star, Midge is a quick-witted, stylish, and ambitious Jewish housewife from the Upper West Side who discovers a talent for stand-up comedy after her marriage collapses. Brosnahan, who had previously been known for dramatic roles, famously had to convince the show's creators she was funny enough for the part, landing the role with a specific stand-up trick during her audition.
- Alex Borstein (Susie Myerson): Midge's tough, pragmatic, and fiercely loyal manager. Susie is the perfect foil to Midge's privileged upbringing, operating out of the gritty Gaslight Cafe. Borstein is a celebrated comedian and voice actress, best known for her long-running role as Lois Griffin on Family Guy.
- Tony Shalhoub (Abe Weissman): Midge's fastidious, intellectual, and often bewildered father. Abe is a retired Columbia University mathematics professor who constantly struggles to adapt to Midge's unconventional career path. Shalhoub is a highly decorated actor, famous for his Emmy-winning role as Adrian Monk in the series Monk.
- Marin Hinkle (Rose Weissman): Midge's elegant, socialite mother, who is deeply concerned with appearances and Midge's marital status. Hinkle is a versatile actress who originally trained to be a ballerina before transitioning to acting.
- Michael Zegen (Joel Maisel): Midge's estranged husband, who leaves her for his secretary, triggering her stand-up career. Joel eventually becomes a complicated, supportive presence in Midge's life. Zegen is known for his roles in Boardwalk Empire and The Walking Dead.
- Caroline Aaron (Shirley Maisel): Joel’s well-meaning, loud, and constantly anxious mother, whose life revolves around the family's garment business and her son’s happiness.
- Kevin Pollak (Moishe Maisel): Joel’s boisterous, penny-pinching father and owner of Maisel & Roth Garments. Pollak is a renowned actor, comedian, and impressionist with over 90 film credits.
The Marvelous Cast’s Blockbuster Roles and New Series in 2024–2025
The end of Maisel has unleashed a torrent of new work for its main stars, with many securing roles in major franchises and prestige television. The transition from the 1950s New York setting to modern-day Hollywood has been seamless, proving their collective star power is undeniable.
Rachel Brosnahan: From Midge Maisel to Lois Lane
Rachel Brosnahan’s post-Maisel career is defined by one massive, highly anticipated role: Lois Lane. The actress has been officially cast as the iconic Daily Planet reporter in the new DC Universe film Superman, which is slated for a 2025 release.
This move is a significant pivot, showcasing her ability to handle a major blockbuster franchise after years in a period comedy. Brosnahan is also set to star in the Apple crime thriller series (Season 2) and has roles in the 2025 film The Amateur, and the 2024 films Boomtown and Distant, solidifying her status as one of Hollywood's most in-demand leading women.
Tony Shalhoub: The Return of Monk and a New Documentary
Tony Shalhoub, who masterfully played the eccentric Abe Weissman, has returned to another of his most famous characters. In late 2023, he reprised his role as the beloved detective in the Peacock original movie, Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie.
Looking ahead to 2025, Shalhoub is set to premiere a new CNN Originals series, Tony Shalhoub Breaking Bread, a project that demonstrates his continued versatility beyond acting. The series, set to air in September 2025, will offer fans a new, intimate look at the actor's personal side and interests.
Alex Borstein: Stand-Up Tours and Animated Continuity
Alex Borstein, whose portrayal of Susie Myerson earned her multiple Emmy Awards, is leaning into her stand-up comedy roots, much like her on-screen counterpart Midge. Throughout 2024 and into 2025, Borstein has been touring her solo show, Thirsty, performing at various venues across the country.
While she continues to tour, her longest-running role as Lois Griffin on the animated series Family Guy remains a constant in her career, ensuring her voice is still heard on television screens weekly. Her focus on live comedy reflects a natural extension of the themes explored in Mrs. Maisel, giving fans a unique opportunity to see the real-life comedy chops of the woman behind Susie Myerson.
What the Rest of the Maisel Family Is Up To Now
The supporting cast members, who provided the hilarious and heartbreaking foundation for Midge’s journey, have also secured impressive new roles, with a notable return to the New York stage for several actors.
- Michael Zegen (Joel Maisel): Zegen has maintained a strong presence in both film and theater. In 2024, he starred in the film Notice to Quit. For theater lovers, Zegen took to the New York stage in late 2024, starring in the Off-Broadway play Strategic Love Play at the Minetta Lane Theatre, demonstrating his commitment to diverse acting mediums.
- Marin Hinkle (Rose Weissman): The actress known for playing the elegant Rose has a new film project on the horizon. Hinkle is listed with a role in the 2025 film Under the Lights, a project that will further expand her already extensive film and television resume.
- Caroline Aaron (Shirley Maisel): Caroline Aaron has made a triumphant return to the New York stage. She is set to star in the new Off-Broadway play, Conversations With Mother, with previews beginning in February 2025 and a limited run through May 2025. This project highlights her continued success in theater following her acclaimed TV run.
- Kevin Pollak (Moishe Maisel): The veteran comedian has secured a major new television role. Pollak will be joining the cast of the Paramount+ hit series Tulsa King for its third season in 2025, taking on the series regular role of Special Agent Musso, an FBI agent. This is a significant new chapter for the actor in a high-profile drama.
The sheer volume of high-quality, diverse projects undertaken by the cast in the immediate aftermath of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s final season speaks volumes about their talent and dedication. While the show may have ended, Midge’s journey to the top was clearly just the beginning for the actors who brought her world to life. Fans can look forward to seeing the Maisel family and their friends continue to dominate screens and stages well into 2025 and beyond.
