The Handmaid’s Tale stars – Elisabeth Moss, Samira Wiley, and Alexis Bledel – are on the cover of Entertainment Weekly‘s new issue, on newsstands on April 13.
“One episode in particular I can’t imagine not having a woman director,” Elisabeth said about having equal men and women directing the show this season. “There’s some stuff that only a woman can understand. That doesn’t mean a man can’t wrap his head around it, but there are certain thing that are like, Okay, you’ve literally never experienced this.”
“This season you see a real three-dimensional and complex woman,” Samira added. “That’s not always a given in television – to see all of these colors in one woman, and not only a woman, but a black gay woman. She’s every f—ing minority you can think of! Which I know a little something about.”
