Elisabeth Moss Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

A difficult goodbye. The Handmaid’s Tale said goodbye to original cast member Alexis Bledel ahead of season 5 — which was tough for star Elisabeth Moss.

A lot has changed since the award-winning adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s seminal dystopian novel premiered on Hulu in 2017. Handmaid red and white (designed by Ane Crabtree in Season 1) has become a go-to ensemble for those protesting restrictions on reproductive rights across the globe.

The Handmaid’s Tale cast and crew were out in force at the Toronto Film Festival on Thursday evening for the world premiere of the two first episodes of season five, ahead of their release on Hulu in the U.S. on September 14.

 officially has an end date. Ahead of the season 5 premiere of the Hulu series, the streaming service announced on Thursday that it has renewed the Margaret Atwood adaptation for a sixth and final season.«It has been a true honor to tell the story of Margaret Atwood’s groundbreaking novel and chillingly relevant world, and we are thrilled to bring viewers a sixth and final season of ,» Bruce Miller, creator, showrunner and executive producer, said in a press release.

It was just announced that The Handmaid’s Tale will be ending after the upcoming sixth season.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Deep into its run, “The Handmaid’s Tale” has found itself — or a version of itself, at once leaner and stranger — again. In the past, I’ve written that this show, which boasts a strong ensemble cast supporting probably the most agile performer on television, has been frustratingly unable to emerge from the potency of its set-up. Season after season was spent re-litigating the harms done to Elisabeth Moss’ June, all while reducing her from a recognizable human into a character history. The show made the point that June had been altered by trauma too well. Now, though, June feels liberated; in the wake of Season 4’s conclusion, in which our heroine led a mob killing of her tormentor (Joseph Fiennes), Moss’ performance feels opened up, and so does the series’ creative universe.

Bethenny Frankel is not happy about what happens on social media apps — especially as it relates to the mental health of young girls and women.

Though it is set in a dystopic future, there are many who would say that “The Handmaid’s Tale” has become more and more realistic with each passing day. Women’s rights, especially when it comes to reproductive rights, are seemingly under attack, and the oppression seen in the show seems to be a possible glimpse into our own future.

The revolution continues.

Elisabeth Moss is killing it right now, and as we detailed in our interview with the actress last week about her new Apple TV+ series “Shining Girls,” she is becoming a major triple threat, evolving from an actor who is instrumental in calling the shot, producing and directing nearly everything she appears in. Just like Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” of which Moss is the lead and now a producer and one of the directors, on “Shining Girls”—an ambitious series about an assault victim, a time-traveling serial killer, and a journalistic procedural to catch the killer—she took on a similar role on a (read our review here).

Elisabeth Moss might be the “queen of trauma” (my words), expertly navigating harrowing emotional stories in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Invisible Woman,” and in her new Apple TV+ series, “Shining Girls,” but she’s also, more importantly, become a triple threat. Having produced, directed, and starred in “The Handmaid’s Tale”—directing several episodes last season and directing the first two episodes and finale for season five—Moss has taken on a holistic view of the show and she’s applied the same approach to “Shining Girls.” Adapted and executive produced by Silka Luisa, who also serves as showrunner, “Shining Girls” is based on Lauren Beukes’ best-selling novel of the same name and follows Kirby Mazrachi (Moss) as a Chicago newspaper archivist whose journalistic ambitions are put on hold after enduring a traumatic assault that nearly kills her.
