Handmaids in The Handmaid’s Tale are expected to police each others’ behavior in the totalitarian near future world that Margaret Atwood created, and it will be interesting to see how that plays out for Ofglen.
On the outside, Bledel’s character seems somewhat fragile and working within the system, but she’s also a lesbian character who is described as “subversive.”
Per TV Line, Alexis Bledel is set to play the recurring role of Ofglen, who is another handmaid who knows Offred, who will be played by Mad Men and Top of the Lake actress Elisabeth Moss.
Of course, if you’ve read the books, you may already know.
