Elisabeth Moss on ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ ending in season 6 premiere

While Hulu’s dystopian series “The Handmaid’s Tale” is coming to an end, Elisabeth Moss looks back on playing June Osborne with admiration.

“I hope she gives courage to someone who needs it, whether it is in our country or another country,” Moss said Variety Freedom fighter became a freedom fighter. “She is someone who can hopefully look at people. She is very brave and I look up at her.”

The hit show returns with his sixth and last season on April 8, and the public has to be braced for an explosive final such as the uprising in Gilead eventually ignites.

“It is going a bit wild there towards the end, and I think it is what the fans have waited for six seasons – they have waited for revolution,” said Madeline Brewer. “We had a long resistance, we had a lot of building and building and really a slow combustion of what is a shameful revolution, ultimately, ultimately.”

Moss, Brewer and the rest of the cast and the creative team celebrated that threatening conclusion on Wednesday evening in the TCL Chinese Theater of Hollywood, which was decorated to look like the red coats and white winged bonnets that are usual in Gilead. On the red carpet, the writers emphasized that they wanted to make the last season worthwhile for everyone who was followed.

“We knew that this would be our very last chance to tell these stories with our beloved cast and our beloved characters, so it was definitely a now or never feeling,” said Co-Showrunner and executive producer Yahlin Chang. “It’s a wish -fulfillment season, it’s a season in which we just want to be really rewarding and really satisfying.”

Max Minghella described the season as unpredictable. “I think it will surprise the audience,” Minghella explained.

The audience is not the only ones who will be surprised, because much of the cast had no access to the full scripts.

“To be honest, I still don’t know for sure if I know exactly how the series ends. I mean, all these scripts were so edited. The names of people were several people,” Samira Wiley said. “What I know is that fans are greatly rewarded for their dedication.”

Carradine once also mentioned the edited pages. “I have not read the last 15 pages of the script and I never asked for the non-reduced version. It is the first time I have ever seen the show completely blind,” Carradine said excitedly. “Now I know I can’t spoil it.”

The cast also shared what they removed to play their characters. “I’m not afraid to talk about things that I may not have before I play Moira,” said Wiley, praise from the “fight, her fire and her activism of her character.”

Ot Fagbenle said that his character Luke, the husband of June, is a memory of the realities that people go through during political conflicts.

“He was a citizen, and many citizens in the world were nowadays made refugees and taken out of their homes by war and deportation,” he said. “In this last season you see a person who is willing to lose everything to get what he wants.”

Chang noted that writers “The Handmaid’s Tale” were aware of leaving some material for the upcoming follow -up series, “The Testaments” to pick up. While Chang and Co-Showrunner Eric Tuchman are not involved in that project, she teased that “If there is something after viewing these 10 episodes that you ask yourself if you are worried, whether a loose thread or an unsolved story is a follow-up that it will tackle.”

Moss, who is also an executive producer in the series and directed a handful of episodes, including the serial final, shared what she is

“Getting started with these actors, that will be the great privilege of my life and my director,” she said.
