Throughout TheHandmaidsTale, Y_Strahovski has honed the craft of getting into her character Serena’s head. Here, the actress discusses the final season of the series, and going toe-to-toe with Elisabeth Moss for another round.
actress discusses season five of the series, finding humanity in Serena, and going toe-to-toe with Elisabeth Moss for another round.When Yvonne Strahovski pops up on Zoom, it takes me a minute to remind myself that I am not, in fact, speaking to Serena Joy. The actress has her hair pulled away from her face in a tight bun—hercharacter’s signature style—and the room in which she sits could easily pass for the Toronto detention center where Serena has resided for the past season.
Serena is such a complex woman. When you play her, do you attempt to bring any humanity to the character? Do you want the audience to feel compassion for her? I think I can explain all of it away, basically. It’s really complex—there’s a whole political setup here. She has one foot in the architecture of Gilead and one foot out of it. There’s her relationship with Fred, who betrayed her many times and became abusive. If you ask yourself what it would truly be like to be in that position, you would have a lot of trauma. And I think that’s the foundation of anyone’s bad behavior.
It got pretty raw in past seasons, but it gets even rawer this season. I don’t know how to explain it any other way. They just have some kind of a no-bullshit language between them, where they can really see and hear each other. They can’t lie to each other very well. And that relationship is also really, really complicated, and it’s been great to go even deeper into those complications.
