Alexis Bledel Makes Rare Comments About The Handmaid’s Tale Exit Ahead of Series Finale

  • Alexis Bledel announced her exit from The Handmaid's Tale in May 2022 after much thought about stepping away at that time.
  • The Handmaid's Tale series, based on Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel about low fertility and a repressive regime, has evolved with creative choices beyond Atwood's control.
  • The showrunners explored complex character arcs like Nick's betrayal and death in the penultimate episode aired May 20, which differed from the book where Nick opposes Gilead and works with Mayday.
  • Executive producers Yahlin Chang and Eric Tuchman highlighted the acting and story are strong despite some narrative deviations, with Chang calling the novel “such a beautiful novel” inspiring millions.
  • Nick’s death ahead of the May 27 series finale marks a significant and controversial turning point that may influence final themes and viewer reactions to the show's conclusion.
