On the Set of 'The Handmaid's Tale' With Yvonne Strahovski a.k.a. Serena Joy | THR

[@JulesRoyal]

A super underrated actress that deserved an Emmy nomination. She is phenomenal in this show.

[@maeve6363]

JulesRoyal she has one doesn’t she

[@ornellagandini7922]

She really is!

[@foxy9403]

@TheRealist 811 lol what do you mean??? Emys are still very good with picking talent noms and wins

[@itsjennifer.d9249]

The best moment for me so far would be when she threw offred down to the ground after finding out she was sleeping with her husband and screamed into her ear " do you understand me".

@@albertnada4681 why do they deserve cancer?

She is great in the show, cold as ice. It´s strange to see her smiling like that, great actress.

[@MsCCarolinee]

not always that cold. She shows emotion more than she shows cruelty

[@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle]

Well I am actually not use to her being stone cold. I am use to her smiling a lot because of Chuck. Yeah, she had her stone cold moments even there, but most of the time she was sweet and warming character.

[@peterbradfield2805]

Yeah, I was going to comment about how her role on "Chuck" was like a totally 180 degrees different then Serena Joy. I believe that is the main reason why I think Yvonne should have won an Emmy award for Serena Joy, and I believe eventually she will -- because not only is the role totally opposite of how she played in "Chuck", but Yvonne really sells it this role as very believable, almost too much so to where you start ending up hating the character as much as June/Offred does by the end of season 1.

[@peterbradfield2805]

... and I've continued to do so well into season 2, especially after the just aired episode 6. I'm almost cringing at what to expect in the aftermath episode of the bombing in episode 7 to air next Wednesday. But that's definitely to the credit of Strahovski's acting.

[@marcotuliomonteiro7012]

João Solimeo i love her laugh, so sweet and strong

[@Recurring8]

She's one of those actresses that usually don't get parts other than the main guy's love interest and never get to show how much talent they really have. Im glad she made it

[@stephantruck3031]

You should watch Chuck. It's kinda your point and counterpoint in one show.

[@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle]

Yeah, definitively. She could easily switch between sweet and caring to very serious in few seconds. Also, as much as I hate what they did with her character those last two episodes, I thought she was terrific as stone cold assassin. It just shows how she can easily switch between rolls. She was pretty good in 24 too.

[@briannabanana996]

Lucia R well, in Dexter she was his girlfriend but she was also a serial killer so that was kinda different

[@gihanm.7484]

@@stephantruck3031 i know right, she is so amazing in chuck, this woman can convey 1000 words with just 1 single look. and she is super bad a ss in chuck

[@dondragmer2412]

@@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle Definitely.

[@kikko422]

Literally everyone's acting on this show is fucking insane. The way she made me go back and forth from hating Serena to then seeing the tiniest bit of compassion towards June, back to wanting to strangle her, etc. etc. So good

[@luiiiandmovieee]

Absolutely same! With Serena it's always one step forward and three steps back. But every actor is so amazing in this show

[@keeneal5860]

I think it has a lot to do w/ confusion between knowing her role as a wife and being conflicted w/ her feelings of it (the way she treat June) not being ok ,its wrong, then we see a smudge of compassion until she is beat back into domestication then she turns into a b$t%h again

[@Jelmer3j]

It’s kinda ironic when you realize it’s all filmed in Canada...

[@Jm-ch5ko]

Filmed a lot in my hometown. Like right down the street from me lol. So weird seeing the red capes

[@homosapien.a6364]

Obviously Why would they make them immigrate to Canada

[@HeyItsEdrieA]

There is a stark contrast between Yvonne and Serena Joy. It’s baffling that she didn’t get a nomination for her amazing performance. But then again, the villain hardly ever gets nominations... :/

[@The810kid]

HeyItsEdrieA it was rough the show already had two nominations in the best supporting female category alone

[@davy209]

There’s still a good chance she can get nominated for season 2. (Which gives her a lot to do!)

[@EvanCorndog]

Ann Dowd won an Emmy for her role as aunt Lydia. So it happens :)

[@The810kid]

HeyItsEdrieA this yr I feel she will be nominated because she was brilliant

Yeeeeesss

[@alvarizky713]

yeaa and i love both characters so bad

[@kasia4202]

OMG YES! I knew she reminded me someone!

[@clemontinediva]

She's so pleasant & sweet in real life! Am I the only one that loves the Waterfords' kitchen/dining room - it's even prettier without the blue/grey filter they use on the show!

[@eqfs9455]

you are not alone

[@kathleen6288]

My favorite thing is the lamp on the Commander's desk. What a beauty! I love the house too but it's hard to appreciate when watching the show, cause the storyline is so dismal. But I'll be watching Season 2. I'm sure you are too!!

[@signecrawford2]

It's a beautiful set

[@keandric2765]

I do too. The house they use for the exterior is Lovely and I love every single set they use for the rooms, ESPECIALLY the kitchens and dining room. All the plants in the dining room is just LOVELY :)

[@easytoslipE2S]

I really detest the lighting used in filming; so many scenes are so dark I can barely see anything, then you've got the over-use of the back bright sunlight...that and the repetitive boring emotionally manipulative music could have been done a lot better IMO

[@Screamflyify]

I think she really deserves an Emmy nomination. Her character is SO well played

[@levigarrett6884]

Acting on this show is top notch. It's an emotional rollercoaster.

[@jiyoungi90]

She's lost a lot of her Australian accent now. But you can hear it here and there. It's quite mixed, but more American than Australian. lol

[@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle]

This isn't uncommon. If you spend lot of time in once place where people talk like "this or that" you eventually adopt their accent and speech patterns. If she goes back to Australia for like a few months, she'll probably start speaking in her full Australian accent again. Sad she's losing it tho, she always sounded so cute with her Australian accent.

[@debadev2179]

Lucia Sohn nah I can hear the Australian accent

[@braselton94]

It is starting to fade. Since her Chuck/Dexter days it’s faded a lot.

[@thompsonmatthew]

didn't know she was australian but picked it up the second she started talking. But yeah, I can hear it fading in and out.

[@kene301187]

And that's a damn shame, because Australien accent is so fucking Hot.

[@banrions]

yvonne is so sweet, this was a cool tour!

[@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle]

Yeah, she's so sweet and cute, but I don't find her pretty at all in this show. Probably because she plays super bitchy stone cold asshole, so it's makes her less appealing. I mean, I've seen her in Manhattan Nights which was released like a year ago and she's her usual cute self there. I doubt she "aged badly" in just one year.

[@MarioMY]

She's so sweet! The attention to detail in this show is incredible!

[@thiagocosta3980]

She's so sweet and so incredibly beautiful. Hate Serena, love Yvonne.

[@noemie383]

Bastian Oliveira and that’s exactly the feeling when you have incredible actress in a fabulous show !

[@easytoslipE2S]

I have such a girl crush on her, she's so incredibly beautiful and cute

[@starbuckzluver10._.48]

seeing how she is in real life just makes you realize how great of an actress she is. i’m always ready to throw hands with serena joy, i can’t even recognize the person who plays her! what a great actress, wow.

[@dondragmer2412]

She says so much with her face even when she doesn't speak, and her emotions can change from one instant to the next. She is a match for Elisabeth Moss who has a similar technique. Their scenes together are among the best in the show.

[@IkonD98]

Serena is my favorite character, she is so complex and now i love Yvonne

[@BeBooBoop]

She's an evil bitch

[@tashayanes8047]

she's mine too which is weird because i hate Serena's guts, but her character is just so interesting and Yvonne is so talented

[@radRadiolarian]

Yvonne is one of the greatest actresses in the show. She deserves an award for her performances.

[@liorasitelman1856]

So likable in person and so hatable on the show. Brilliant actress!

[@annag7187]

Yvonne Strahovski is a brilliant actor and she brings such vulnerability and depth of character to the role of Serena Joy. Love watching The Handmaid’s Tale!

[@_birdie]

i am a massive yvonne strahovski fan. and it’s been incredible watching her in this role. it’s so far from anything she’s done before, and she’s absolutely killing it!! she’s so damn versatile. i mean Chuck, Dexter, Handmaid’s Tale- she just slays it all. not many can pull off comedy, sci-fi, drama, dark comedy, AND action (my God she should have her own action movie franchise. she’s like the POLISH NIKITA!haha) and yet she kills it in every single genre! she is SO underrated. and seems truly down to earth and gracious. 🙃 aaaand should’ve been cast as Captain Marvel ☺️
