Serena Joy: Last News

That’s a wrap on The Handmaid’s Tale!

just wrapped production earlier this month. “Stranger Things” is one of many Netflix shows that hasn’t been dated yet.

has seen a lot changes for Yvonne Strahovski’s character, Serena Joy, who started the season as the figurehead of Gilead following the assassination of her husband, Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes), who was mourned with an elaborate televised funeral. Since then, her plans to open a Gilead cultural center in Canada were met with extreme pushback before she eventually took up residence with Sons of Jacobs supporters, The Wheelers, where she was forced to live life as a handmaid. Now, in episode 7, «No Man’s Land,» Serena finds herself turning to June (Elisabeth Moss) for help as she gives birth to her son, Noah, as the series flashes back to their early days in Gilead, when June was still a handmaiden named Offred and the two were learning the Republic’s bizarre birthing ritual. «Serena doesn’t seem like she is redeemable, but it is quite unexpected, I think, how the season evolves,» Strahovski tells ET as she and Moss break down Serena’s birth scene.

is almost here. Ahead of its September premiere, Hulu debuted a new extended and emotional trailer, teasing an epic showdown between Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) and June (Elisabeth Moss), who killed Commander Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) at the end of season 4. “He had to pay for what he did,” June is heard saying of Waterford, whom she blames for taking the U.S.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ with Serena Joy … who’s got a darker soul. Sofie to me was the complete opposite.“Having that springboard into this character was a treat for me.”“Stateless,” which premiered on Australia’s ABC network, was inspired by the true story of Cornelia Rau who, in 2004, was unlawfully detained for 10 months in Australia.“Even though [the show] was based on true events, we kind of did our own thing with Sofie.
