The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4: What Happened to Esther?
Warning! SPOILERS ahead for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4
Midge and Joel have two children in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel but so far the show's storylines have focussed almost entirely on Ethan, leaving Esther largely overlooked. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4 was among Amazon Prime’s February releases—after an extended hiatus due to Covid—and returns with Midge and the gang entering the 1960s.

Beginning in the late 1950s, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel follows Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan), a contented wife and mother, living a charmed life on the Upper West Side.

Now a single mother, Midge takes to the stage herself and builds a substantial career as a stand-up comedian. Her success takes her on the road with mega-star Shy Baldwin in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 3, during which Joel steps in to take care of their two children while Midge is on tour. When Midge makes jokes about Shy on stage, however, she is fired from the tour and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4 begins with Midge back in New York, trying to rebuild her career from a dingy strip club.
