Why The Handmaid’s Tale Showrunner Suddenly Stepped Down

“I imagine to some extent, they’re gonna have to start heading in that direction,” the actor, who plays June Osborne’s (Elisabeth Moss) husband Luke Bankole on the series, revealed in October. “For consistency’s sake.”

Sam Jaeger, who plays U.S government operative Mark Tuello on the series, recently told E! News he’s hoping that, against all odds, things end on a positive note for all involved, including the villainous Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski).

“We’ve been with these characters for so long that I hope they find redemption, even Serena,” Sam said in October, “who has been such a conflicted character and such an enemy for so much of the series. I hope she finds a bit of grace and acceptance and peace. I think that is the hope for our show.”
