Samira Wiley | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

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.”

Samira Wiley models some cool fashion for a new feature on Bustle.com.

The 30-year-old actress opened up about married life after tying the knot with wife Lauren Morelli, one of the former writers on Orange Is the New Black.

“I am a full-on housewife. Straight up,” Samira joked, though she doesn’t do the cooking for her family. She added, “I live a very domestic life.”

Samira also talked about moving to Los Angeles, even though she spends a lot of time away from home while filming.

“I had a real community when I lived in New York, and a lot of them are starting to move here now to L.A., but it doesn’t feel the same yet,” she said. “It’s hard to make friends as an adult.”

The first full length trailer for season two of The Handmaid’s Tale has just debuted, and it is teasing an extremely harrowing set of new episodes.

The trailer features star Elisabeth Moss, as well as Samira Wiley, Yvonne Strahovski, Joseph Fiennes, and more.

The Handmaid’s Tale ladies were joined at the panel by co-stars Max Minghella and O.T. Fagbenle, as well as executive producer Warren Littlefield and creator Bruce Miller.

During the panel, the cast and crew teased the upcoming season.

“There were places that seemed very important that was I was fascinated to experience and to experience how the relationships with the women in those situations were different than they are in Gilead,” Bruce told Variety at the panel. “The colonies is really the ultimate result of misogyny and cruelty and discarding of women — but even in this cruelty you see the women find chances to support each other and mark their milestones. So much of the show is about the incredible resilience and strength of June but also all women, specifically.”
