Marvelous Mrs Maisel: will Lenny Bruce’s death be depicted in season 5?

March 21, 2023 - 15:19 GMT Emmy Griffiths Marvelous Mrs Maisel is returning to our screens for the last time in April, and we couldn’t be more excited for Rachel Brosnahan's final outing as the ambitious and loveable Miriam Maisel. The new series will also feature Luke Kirby, who portrays the only real-life person depicted in the show, Lenny Bruce.

In real life, Lenny was a legendary comedian who tragically passed away aged just 40 from a drug overdose in 1966. While the show shows parts of his career and troubles with the law, as well as an imagined blossoming romance with Miriam, will season five depict his heartbreaking death? Find out here...Loading the player...

Rachel has previously opened up about Lenny's tragic death - and admitted that she didn't want it to be shown on the show. She told The Hollywood Reporter:"I think it would be absolutely gutting for Midge. Lenny’s been her mentor and her hero. In so many ways, she’s modelled herself in her career after him. "Even in intention when sometimes she’s wrong, as Lenny points out at the end, I just think she’d be absolutely gutted. And a big part of me hopes we never get there.

Luke added:"Lenny Bruce was a little bothered by a few things, and met a sad and early end. That’s always been in the back of my mind in playing him… We felt duty-bound to address that a little more explicitly, which you’ll see a bit [in season four]." When is Marvelous Mrs Maisel season five being released? The first two episodes will land on Amazon Prime Video on 14 April - and we can't wait to find out how the tale will conclude.
