The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Just Released the Third Teaser Trailer for Season 4

Sherman-Palladino says viewers also have to remember this is happening in the 1960s, and Shy is a Black singer popular with white female fans. In short, he can’t risk even the slightest rumors about his sexuality being made public. “It’s a precarious situation for him, and the fear is that anything like that could stop the ride,” Sherman-Palladino says. “Midge learned a lesson that she needed to learn, but I feel like Shy also got the scare of a lifetime. He saw everything he spent all this time working for possibly going away because she just riffed into the ether.”

Brosnahan is on Shy’s side. “She outed a Black man in the 1960s,” she says. “That’s dangerous, and she’s a liability at that point. There was a misunderstanding between [Reggie and Midge] when they had a conversation backstage. Even so, what she did was terrible. Even if she didn’t mean to. I want Midge to succeed, but I think this will be an important learning experience for her.”

Brown agrees. “After you watch Midge’s performance at the Apollo, Reggie is like, ‘Yo, sis, I told you to go out there and say stuff, but I didn’t know you were going to do that.’ I think it was one of those things where Shy was like, ‘I’m not comfortable, I can’t do that anymore,’” Brown explains. “I think if there was a way to massage it, Reggie would have, but Shy calls the shots. Ultimately what he wants, he gets. I don’t blame him. Midge crossed the line as far as I’m concerned. Maybe it was Reggie’s fault for not articulating the line better, but he’s like, ‘Look, this is what it is. You’re not going to enjoy it, but I wish you the best.’”
