The end of dystopian series The Handmaid’s Tale ‘hasn’t hit’ its star Elisabeth Moss yet


As a producer, director and the lead actress for the Emmy-winning television series The Handmaid’s Tale, Elisabeth Moss is not ready to say goodbye to the dystopian drama series after a six-season-long run.

“There’s been a very few periods of my life in the last nine years that I have not been working on this show,” Moss said of the series, showing on Max.

“It hasn’t hit me at all yet that I’m not playing her [June Osborne] any more,” she added.

The series, created by Bruce Miller and based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, will debut its sixth and final season on April 8.
