Zachary Levi’s Mystery Role

A few days before Zachary Levi’s casting, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” won the Peabody Award which swiftly granted its third season. This all happened even before Amazon dropped the release date of the first episode of the second season.

Speaking of the second season, producer-directors Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino are planning to take Midge and her friend Suzie (Alex Borstein) to the road as reported by the Hollywood Reporter. This definitely makes fans wonder where Zachary Levi’s character would fit into all that. As the world awaits, the actor is currently busy with his roles in “Shazam” and the Disney animated musical “Tangled” as Flynn Rider.

In addition to Levi, Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham is also edging the casting call. Amy Sherman-Palladino has already expressed her desire to reunite with the Gilmore Girl star in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.  In fact, Graham has already pitched ideas of her own for the role according to Sherman-Palladino.
