Ahead of TheHandmaidsTale Season 5, Alexis Bledel has exited her role as Emily/Ofglen on the dystopian Hulu series.
Alexis Bledel, who plays one of the central characters of Hulu's adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale, has announced that she will not be returning for season 5, Variety reports. After four seasons, the star amicably parts ways with the show and her co-stars. It's time we say a fond "Under His Eye" to Bledel.
When The Handmaid's Tale ended its fourth season, June, Emily and the other handmaids escaped from Gilead and killed Commander Fred Waterford , leaving him hanging on the wall. Miller has confirmed Fiennes's return to Season 5 through the characteristic flashbacks used to provide development for the characters. The escaped handmaids have fled to Canada where June reunites with Luke, and from there they will continue to fight Gilead's regime.
The show also stars McKenna Grace, Madeline Brewer, O-T Fagbenle, Samira Wiley, Bradley Whitford, and Max Minghella. The Handmaid's Tale returns to Hulu later this year.
