Joel's not going anywhere. Just because Joel and Midge split in season one, don't expect the actor that plays Joel—Michael Zegen—to go anywhere. He has plenty of story next season, and you'll see him try to coparent with Midge. "He's stuck between a rock and a hard place," Zegen says. "He loves Midge and he saw that she's really talented [at comedy], but on the other hand, it's a huge blow to his ego that she's this talented." Still, Zegen says, there's a lot of love between Midge and Joel, even though he slept with another woman and treated her horribly. "[We meet him] at a very terrible time in his life, but he still loves Midge." Adds Broshanan: "They will never be able to be without one another. It creates a wonderful, dramatic tension, and you get to explore the depths of their love in a lot of different capacities."
Rose and Abe will face new challenges in their marriage. "Abe is this sort of old-fashioned man in 1959 who would have been very content for absolutely nothing to change," Palladino says. "However, we've seen Rose searching and going to fortune tellers [hoping to expand her horizons]. There are cracks in her facade, and those cracks are just going to get bigger and bigger.”
Zachary Levi is joining the cast in a recurring role. Levi will recur as an eclectic Manhattan doctor who suddenly starts spending a lot of time with the Maisels and Weissmans, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Bonjour, Paris! When filming for season two began in March, some of the cast traveled to the City of Lights for various scenes. Brosnahan told Glamour that they filmed in "the most extraordinary locations" and had "the most beautiful sets." While she remains tight-lipped on what brings Midge to Paris, Brosnahan says the only spoiler she can give is that a dog is involved in their overseas trip. "It was the best," she smiles.
