Elisabeth Moss on Coming Full-Circle in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Finale: ‘I Can’t Imagine It Ending Any Other Way’


'The Handmaid's Tale' star Elisabeth Moss on June's final scene, Serena and Aunt Lydia's fate, the reunion that doesn't happen and where Gilead stands.

She parts ways with her husband Luke (O-T Fagbenle), but not necessarily forever; she bids her former tormentor, Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), farewell by offering her forgiveness. “The Handmaid’s Tale,” based though it was on Atwood’s novel from 1985 and echoing abuses against women throughout history, drew untold volumes of juice in its first season from streaming in the early months of the first Trump presidency. And the ending represents a major transition for Moss, who is — having followed up her role on “Mad Men” with an award-winning, long-running and long- suffering performance — one of the defining TV stars of the streaming age.
