We’re kicking off the fifth and final season of Amazon Prime’s award-winning comedy series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel the only way we know how - by looking back at the show’s best nude scenes from the four previous seasons!
This tale of an Upper West Side Jewish housewife and mother of two in the late 50’s/early 60’s who’s husband’s affair ends up launching her into the raunchy world of professional stand up comedy was a bona fide hit from the get-go, thanks in part to star Rachel Brosnahan’s talent, delivery, and her surprising nudity in the series premiere. Not only do we get a glimpse of her glutes during a college pube-bleaching fiasco but the episode ends with her going topless during a drunken on stage rant.

After that, we only get a few peeks in the dark at Rachel’s rack and rump while getting out of bed, once after sex with her ex, and the other after her long-awaited rendezvous with comedy legend Lenny Bruce (Luke Kirby).

Instead, most of the the skin we see is from the many burlesque performers Mrs. Maisel shares the stage with at the club she emcees for. Tansy, Jillian Schmitz, and Rosie Cheeks are just a few of the bawdy babes we encounter doing their best Gypsy Rose Lee for the crowds throughout the series. But maybe the Mrs. - or perhaps even recent Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu - picked up a few gimmicks for her act from these glittery gals for her swan song! Guess we’ll see!
