Elisabeth Moss has revealed that she took the lead role in The Handmaid’s Tale series to block another actor from securing it.
The show stars Mad Men actor Moss as June Osbourne (Offred), who is forced to serve as a Handmaid and bear children in a dystopian version of the United States. It is based on the book of the same name, written by Margaret Atwood. First premiering in 2017, the show is now in its sixth and final season.
