May 21 (UPI) -- Amazon has renewed its 1950s set drama-comedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel from creator Amy Sherman-Palladino for a third season. Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke confirmed the third season renewal after Sherman-Palladino pressed Amazon about the show's future while accepting a Peabody Award for the series on Saturday.

"You're going to give it to us because we're bringing home the fancy thing, right?" Sherman-Palladino said onstage.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, set in 1950s New York, stars Rachel Brosnahan as a mother of two who enters into the world of standup comedy after her marriage falls apart. Michael Zegen, Alex Borstein, Tony Shalhoub and Marin Hinkle also star.
The series received a two-season order from Amazon in April 2017. Season 2 is set to premiere on Amazon's streaming service later this year.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won two Golden Globe awards in January, including Best Comedy Series and Lead Comedy Actress for Brosnahan.
Sherman-Palladino is also the creator and showrunner of Gilmore Girls.
