“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Season 4) After two excruciatingly long, lonely years, the realization of the fourth season of this Amazon Original series is nigh! Emmy and Golden Globe winner Rachel Brosnahan returns to the groundbreaking role of Midge Maisel, the bold, fashionable and quick-witted stand-up comedian shaking up smoky comedy clubs in the late 1950s. When last we saw Midge, she had just been cut from opening for singer Shy Baldwin’s concert tour after some of her jokes exposed Baldwin’s private love preference. Devastated, she and plucky manager Susie (played by Alex Borstein) are left standing on the airport tarmac, suddenly jobless. Worse yet, Midge had recently ended her engagement to dreamy doctor Benjamin in order to pursue her career. Loveless, incomeless and with multiple people relying on her livelihood, Midge has a lot to figure out this season. Premieres Feb. 18. (Prime Video)

“The Wonderful Winter of Mickey Mouse” -- If you enjoy watching others participate in winter sports and fun, but the Olympics are too competitive for your taste, glide on over to Disney+.

The program’s animation has an old-school look to the characters, so artistic aficionados will enjoy that aspect. This special is a sequel to “The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse” and will be followed by other seasonal adventure episodes later this year. (Disney+) Premieres Feb. 18.
