‘Handmaid’s Tale’ taking human misery to new heights in Season 2
With Season 2 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” just around the corner, the cast and crew are out there beating the promotional pavement. Deadline Hollywood reported select members of the Emmy-sweeping show gathered at PaleyFest with a grim forecast for Season 2. Not exactly surprising.
Show runner Bruce Miller indicated that death and chaos would be the order of the day as the Commanders of Gilead ratchet down on the errant Handmaids, led by Offred/June (Elisabeth Moss).
Will the cast as we know it survive the season? “Oh, no,” Miller said.
“Anyone could die,” said executive producer Warren Littlefield.
Yvonne Strahovski, who plays the barren Serena Joy, advised viewers to “expect the unexpected.”
New additions to the sprawling cast include Broadway actress Cherry Jones as June’s mother, Bradley Whitford as a Gilead commander and Clea DuVall as Ofglen’s wife (seen in flashbacks).
