After all — spoilers ahead! — Midge hit with a stunning setback at the conclusion of the show’s third season.

Taking place in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the comedy series stars Brosnahan as Midge, a down-on-her luck housewife in New York City who, amid a split from her husband, discovers she has a knack for stand-up comedy and quickly rises to superstardom.
