“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”
Marvelous news for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” fans: the hit Amazon series starring Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, Tony Shalhoub, and more has been filming its fourth season in NYC over the past couple of months after additionally being pushed back due to the ongoing pandemic. Filming has been especially active in the past couple of weeks on the Upper West Side, where Instagram user @upperwestsidemanhattan captured some close-up shots of Brosnahan and background actors on set in around 82nd and 83rd Streets and Broadway/Amsterdam. Brosnahan and Borstein were spotted on set around the city in early March, two months after Brosnahan shared a photo on her Instagram marking her first day back on set. As March wraps up, you might run into crews in the West Village and Meatpacking District, according to signs on 12th and Greenwich Street. On March 25, it was first reported by Variety that the legendary John Waters will join the upcoming season in a guest-starring role. And as always, you can get in on the action now: the series has been seeking a wide variety of background actors in recent weeks, so be sure to keep an eye out on the casting page for last-minute opportunities!
