The Handmaid’s Tale has lost one of its main cast members in Season 5.
Alexis Bledel has played Emily Malek (also known as Ofglen, Ofsteven, Ofroy, and Ofjoseph throughout the series) since the dystopian drama debuted in 2017, but it seems her time on the show has come to an end.
The actress issued a statement to Entertainment Weekly saying: “After much thought, I felt I had to move away from The Handmaid’s Tale right now.

“I am forever grateful to Bruce Miller for writing such truthful and resonant scenes for Emily, and to Hulu, MGM, the cast and the group for their support.”
Beyond Bledel stating that “he felt [she] he had to move away, “no explanation was given for his departure from the series. It is also unknown whether the character will be written or remade with another actress.
It looks like the character could easily be removed from the show between seasons, as season 4 ended with Emily, June (Elisabeth Moss) and the other Handmaids assassinating Commander Waterford (Joseph Fiennes), with season 5 ready to follow. the next chaos. Emily could leave after her revenge, or disappear into chaos, with both options leaving the door open for a possible return. But we’ll have to wait and see what the show does.

“I’ll say the season itself is possibly one of the wildest rides we’ve ever had,” Moss said recently. “Some seasons go by a lot, some seasons don’t go by so much. This season I can hardly keep up.
“And it’s not a word of mouth. I really mean I can barely keep up with the amount of activity that’s going on. So it’s been exciting and of course it’s been a challenge, because it means we’re working very hard and “I’m very much in the location. But never a boring moment is what I would say. “
