The Handmaid's Tale star Elisabeth Moss 'can't watch certain scenes'
Elisabeth Moss "can't watch certain scenes" in the final season of 'The Handmaid's Tale'. The 42-year-old actress watches the show - which is set in the fictional republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime where fertile women are forced into childbearing slavery - differently since the arrival of her only child in 2024. Elisabeth - who has not revealed her baby's name - explained to Variety: "Of course it all meant something before I had a child. "I was able to think about my family, my brother, and imagine what it would all feel like. I feel like I did a good job. "But, I cannot believe the difference this final season, and I had no idea that was going to happen. "I can't watch certain scenes. When a person used to come up to me and say, 'I just had a baby, and I can't watch the show,' I had a little judgement, like, 'Oh, God, get over it.' "Now, I totally get it. There are concepts I can't think about; there are articles I can't read in the news." Elisabeth - who served as a producer and director on the show - has "more respect" for acting since taking charge of four episodes in the sixth and final season of the Hulu series. She admitted: "I have more respect for acting than I did before. "When I first started directing, I was very much like, 'I'm going to be a visual person.' The first thing I learned on my first episode is that the performance is the only thing that matters. "I love acting so much, but I don't overthink it; frankly, I don't put a lot of thinking into it at all. It's very important to me, but it's not serious. "So, realising that nothing mattered, except the performance, was a revelation for me." Elisabeth has become an executive producer on 'The Testaments', which is an upcoming follow-up series that could be released in either 2026 or 2027, and she feels "so grateful" for the opportunity. She said: "I feel so grateful for it. "I would be in a much sadder headspace. There's something about the fact that it's not over - that is very, very good for me."
