A new storyline has begun in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5 that could lead to a major revelation for Susie that was only hinted about in the previous season. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is currently airing its fifth and final season on Amazon Prime. The series follows well-dressed and hilarious Miriam "Midge" Maisel as she embarks on a new career as a stand-up comedian.
There are a variety of eccentric and interesting characters in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, including fan favorite, Susie Myerson. Susie begins the series as Midge's manager, however, they become best friends over the seasons, despite their wildly different lifestyles.
In The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5, episode 4, a new character is introduced that brings Susie's sexuality into question. The character, Gordon Ford's wife Hedy, seemingly went to college with Susie and had a close relationship with her that apparently went south.
This potential dive into Susie's past and sexuality would not only be wanted by viewers but would also confirm theories from season 4. In the previous season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Susie and Midge go to a lesbian bar and Susie has a reaction that many fans felt was her coming out, though once again, this is not explicitly mentioned or expanded upon in the show.
After The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4, the showrunners did reveal more about Susie's sexuality and where it could go in season 5. In particular, Amy Sherman-Palladino noted in an interview with TVLine that Susie did not come out during the season 4 scene but was definitely confronted with an idea that she wasn't quite ready to face just yet.
While the serieshas hesitated to explore Susie's sexuality in the past, it seems that season 5 will give audiences plenty of time with the grumpy comedy manager. With Hedy as a new TheMarvelous Mrs. Maiselcharacter, viewers will likely get sneak peeks into Susie's college days and her past in general. Hopefully, this latest storyline will expand on Susie in a way fans have never seen before and explain how she become the beloved character she is now.
