For her role on  Amazon Prime's 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' series (2017-present), Rachel Brosnahan won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (in 2018) and later went on to win two consecutive Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress; Television Series Musical or Comedy in the years 2018 and 2019. In addition, the onscreen stand-up comedian also has recurring roles in the Netflix political House of Cards, which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. Additionally, she played a lead role in the WGN drama series, ' Manhattan'.

Hatched from the brains of Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (the husband-and-wife pair behind the long-running 'Gilmore Girls'), Amazon brought to us a refreshing comedy starring Brosnahan in the lead role. As the vivacious, spirited, and young Mrs. Maisel, the actress instantly grabbed eyeballs and even turned the 1958 setting to appear as realistic as possible. For all the accolades she brings in, Brosnahan must be earning quite a lot. Read on to know more!

'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Season 3 Episode 1: Will Sophie Lennon's offer break the bond between Midge and Susie?

As of 2022, Brosnahan earns a solid $300,000 per episode, which is three times her previous salary. Season 4 of the series is on its way and we are sure the pay will just get higher for its showstopper.  Brosnahan began starring as the popular comedian Miriam "Midge" Maisel on Amazon Prime's 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' as of 2017. For the first two seasons of the show, she earned a salary of $100,000 per episode. That'd be $800,000 for Season 1 and $1 million for the following season. When heading into Season 3, her salary per episode was tripled to about $300,000, which would eventually turn into a whopping $2.4 million for the entire Season 3 alone!



 

She also signed a first-look deal with Amazon Studios in 2019. As per the deal, Brosnahan and her production company called Scrap Paper Pictures will be developing shows, exclusively for Amazon.



 

Brosnahan is married to actor Jason Ralph seen in 'Better off Single'.



 

Season 4 of 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' premieres on February 18, 2022, on Amazon Prime. For three seasons, Midge has been living the dream, going from strength to strength, meeting the right people with her path being bulldozed clear by Susie's super-manager skills. But in Season 3, we saw hints of darkness that was missing in the first two seasons. Midge, still not getting the seriousness of her offense, wisecracks, "I was at least two doors down from home" and whines that Reggie is the one who told her to talk about Shy. Season 4 will hopefully see our girl grow up a little and take responsibility for the people she hurts while she is doing her "set".
