As gears up for its final season, fans are buzzing with excitement and curiosity about the possibility of a spinoff. One of the most intriguing prospects is a show centered around Susie Myerson, portrayed by the talented Alex Borstein. With the show’s narrative taking a dramatic turn in Season 5, Episode 8, where Susie and Midge become estranged, the question of a Susie-centric spinoff has gained momentum.

In an interview with The Wrap, Alex Borstein, who has won three Emmys for her role as Susie, opened up about the potential for a spinoff.

Borstein’s response was filled with enthusiasm and trust in the show’s creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino. "Whatever Amy Sherman-Palladino wants to do — and if I am invited to the party — I am there," Borstein said. Her dedication to the character and her respect for Sherman-Palladino’s storytelling craft shine through in her words. "I really trust her. She creates these universes that consistently expand, and I don’t know how she does it. You cannot get bored because it’s constantly expanding and changing," Borstein added.

The tension between Susie and Midge is a significant plot development. The two characters, who started as best friends and collaborators, now find themselves at odds.

This shift opens up fascinating narrative possibilities. A spinoff could delve into Susie’s life post-Midge, exploring her struggles, triumphs, and perhaps even new comedic endeavors. Given Susie’s dynamic and layered personality, there’s ample ground for storytelling that could capture viewers’ hearts in a new way.

Sherman-Palladino, known for her creative genius, has been open about the idea of continuing the universe. She has mentioned her appreciation for the notion of keeping in touch with the cast and crew but also emphasizes the importance of not overstaying the show’s welcome. "It’s too early to think about a follow-up," she noted.

This suggests that while a spinoff is not currently in the works, it remains a tantalizing possibility for the future.

With two episodes left in the season, there’s still much to uncover about Susie’s fate and her relationship with Midge. A spinoff could explore Susie’s journey during this estrangement, with occasional appearances from Midge and other characters. Borstein’s portrayal of Susie has been a fan favorite, and the potential for a new series featuring her character is an exciting prospect.

In the meantime, Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Daniel Palladino, are working on a new show, , set to air on Prime Video. The series will focus on ballet and the artistic world, featuring alum Luke Kirby. While is the immediate project, there’s hope that the world of might still have room for a Susie spinoff down the line.

In summary, while a Susie Myerson spinoff is not yet on the horizon, the idea is certainly worth considering. With Borstein’s passion for the character and Sherman-Palladino’s inventive storytelling, a spinoff could offer fans a fresh and engaging chapter in the universe.
