The stars of The Handmaid’s Tale talk about how the battle against Gilead heats up in season 5 after the shocking season 4 finale, which saw June and other former handmaids savagely execute Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes). Rotten Tomatoes correspondent Nikki Novak caught up with cast members Elisabeth Moss, Madeline Brewer, O-T Fagbenle, Bradley Whitford, Max Minghella, Amanda Brugel, and Sam Jaeger as well as series creator and showrunner Bruce Miller and executive producer Warren Littlefield. “The audience celebrated [Fred’s death], so we kicked off this year with: ‘All right, June, now deal with it,’” Littlefield says.
