Fans Can’t Believe Elisabeth Moss’s Reaction to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Finale Script
Let’s dive into the drama, shall we? Elisabeth Moss, the powerhouse behind June Osborne in the critically acclaimed series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has graced us with her unfiltered reaction to the finale script—and oh, it’s as juicy as we’d hoped! Speaking at the premiere of the show’s sixth season at the TCL Chinese Theatre, Moss didn’t hold back when she described her initial thoughts upon reading the concluding scripts. “Can I swear?” she asked, before dropping a relatable “Holy s–t” that echoed through the Hollywood crowd, accompanied by a cascade of tears.
This emotional response isn’t just for show; it’s a testament to the complex journey Moss has undertaken both in front of and behind the camera. Over the past eight years, Moss has not only embodied the rebellious spirit of June but has also stepped into the director’s chair, helming several episodes—including the finale. When asked how she manages to juggle acting and directing, Moss highlighted the synergy between the two roles, stating, “I think that being an actor helps me as a director and being a director helps me as an actor.” Clearly, she’s not just a double threat; she’s a creative force of nature that refuses to be pigeonholed.
Her co-stars, including Samira Wiley, couldn’t help but sing her praises, creating a beautiful tapestry of trust and admiration that spills over into their on-screen chemistry. Wiley noted how witnessing Moss’s growth has been inspirational, leading to a powerful dynamic between their characters, June and Moira. The emotional weight of their relationship is palpable, both on and off the screen, providing a rich backdrop to the narrative that has captivated audiences globally.
But fear not, Gilead enthusiasts! While the current chapter may be wrapping up, Hulu has announced a sequel titled “The Testaments,” based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel. Set four years after the events of the original series, it promises to bring back familiar faces and introduce new ones, focusing on characters like Aunt Lydia and June’s daughter. Creator Bruce Miller hinted that this spinoff will carry a different vibe while still keeping the essence of Gilead alive—because who doesn’t love a good dystopian thrill ride?
Mark your calendars, folks. The final season premieres April 8, with a tantalizing three-episode drop. So, prepare to clutch your pearls and grab your tissues as we bid farewell to a series that has challenged, inspired, and downright shocked us. If you thought you were ready, think again.
