From Stars Hollow to Manhattan! The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel reunited creator Amy Sherman-Palladino with several of her former Gilmore Girls cast members for both brief and prolonged cameos.Before season 4’s February 2022 premiere, the Amazon Prime Video series made headlines after announcing the arrival of two beloved actors from the CW series, including Milo Ventimiglia, who played Jess Mariano.“They were the ones who really gave me my break,” the This Is Us star said of the Bunheads showrunner and her husband, Daniel Palladino, during a January 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “They’re the ones who kind of put me on the map with Gilmore [Girls] and with Jess.”He noted at the time: “They are the kinds of people that, for me, I was like, one, I’m going to know them the rest of my life; and two, anytime they call, I’ve got to be there.

So, if they’re like, ‘Hey, Mi, why don’t you come in and [do] a small bit on the show we’re working on,’ ‘Great!’ ‘Hey, if you could take us to the airport,’ ‘Sure!’ Like, whatever you need, fake Mom and Dad.”While few details about the Heroes alum’s Maisel character have been revealed, photos taken on set seemingly teased his connection with Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan). Michael Zegan, who plays Midge’s ex Joel Maisel, went on to hint at how Ventimiglia’s character adds to the former couple’s tension.“Well, I think any new guy that they introduce is gonna affect Joel.

It’s not like he’s just moved on and he’s over it,” the Boardwalk Empire alum exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2022. “Even despite the fact that he’s with Mei [Stephanie Hsu], any guy who ends up with Midge, I think [Joel’s] gonna be insanely jealous of him.
