Heading into HandmaidsTale season four, Elisabeth Moss and MargaretAtwood discuss this precarious cultural moment and why they 'don't think we're going to be writing a pandemic storyline.'
"I have influence but no power," says Atwood of how involved she is with the Hulu show.
Even with Hollywood deliberating over production restarts, normalcy seems a long way away and Gilead seems disturbingly close as Moss and Atwood discuss this precarious cultural moment.I'm quite the loner and I'm quite the homebody. So for me, obviously, the biggest difference is not working on set. But I've been keeping really busy with producing and developing. So, I haven't felt really bored or anything. And I am very good at being alone — probably a little bit too good at it.
Elisabeth, you'd just started production on the fourth season when everything was shut down in March. Have there been conversations about how the season will be changed, in terms of how the worldview has shifted for the show?Yeah, there have, mainly between the writers and the directors, and Bruce [Miller] and myself. We have a season that's almost pretty much written. And we've never been a procedural, sort of, ripped-from-the-headlines kind of show.
So what was fun for me was to have these incredible instruments in this orchestra of these actors, the women who play the Handmaids, a few of the gentlemen, and to be able to go up to them and play these instruments. And they're never doing a bad job. They're always good. But being able to go up to them and just tweak something or give them an idea, and then see how it came out in their performance, was so fascinating.
