Jane Lynch is going back in time.
The Emmy winner is set to guest-star in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the period dramedy from Gilmore Girls duo Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino.
The hourlong stars Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards) as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a 1958 New York City woman who has everything she’s ever wanted — the perfect husband, two kids, and an elegant Upper West Side apartment. But her perfect life suddenly takes an unexpected turn and Midge discovers a previously unknown talent — one that changes her life forever. She subsequently storms the world of stand-up comedy… a decision that will ultimately lead her to a spot on Johnny Carson’s couch.
Lynch will portray Sophie Lennon, the most famous female comic of her time, who plays sold out shows and has been a popular fixture on radio and TV for years.
