Elisabeth Moss recently shared insights into her experience as a new mother and how she balanced parenthood while filming the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale.
Motherhood on Set
During her appearance at 2025 PaleyFestLA, Moss reflected on the privilege of bringing her baby to work. “The only thing I would say about that is I feel so fortunate to be able to do that,” she said. “So many parents cannot.”
Pregnancy Announcement
Moss first revealed she was expecting during a January 2024 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, joking about being both pregnant and a dedicated method actor. She described her pregnancy journey as smooth and positive but did not disclose details about the father or due date.
Final Season of The Handmaid’s Tale
The long-running series, based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, is coming to an end. While plot details remain secret, Moss has hinted that the season will be “big and wild.” The show’s creator, Bruce Miller, previously expressed a desire to expand on the novel’s original ending, ensuring the series concludes on its own terms. Miller, however, has stepped back from the role of showrunner to focus on The Testaments, a spinoff series.
Looking Ahead
With The Handmaid’s Tale wrapping up, Moss’s future projects remain undisclosed. However, her candid remarks at PaleyFest highlighted both the challenges and joys of balancing her career with motherhood.
