By Shrija Ganguly Modified 11 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Alexis Bledel as Dr. Emily Malek in The Handmaid's Tale (Image via IMDb) Alexis Bledel revealed in May 2022 that she will not be a part of season 5 of The Handmaid's Tale. Based on Margaret Atwood's book by the same name, season 5 of The Handmaid's Tale will premiere on Hulu on Wednesday, September 14, 2022. The Handmaid's Tale is an American dystopian television series, which is all about the Second American Civil War. The show focuses on a totalitarian state called the Republic of Gilead, which has overthrown the US government and has subjected its fertile women, also called Handmaids, to child-bearing slavery. The popular show explores the themes of subjugated women in a patriarchal world, and their fight to seek freedom from slavery.

Malek has a wife and son living in Canada. She could not get past the security at the airport, and thus, ended up as a Handmaid in the republic of Gilead. Read on to find out where Bledel's Emily Malek stands right now in the upcoming season of The Handmaid's Tale.

Where is Alexis Bledel s Emily Malek after the violent ending in The Handmaid s Tale season 4

In May 2022, Bledel told Variety that she would not be returning for the upcoming season of Hulu's award-winning series. She said: "After much thought, I felt I had to step away from The Handmaid’s Tale at this time. I am forever grateful to Bruce Miller for writing such truthful and resonant scenes for Emily, and to Hulu, MGM, the cast and crew for their support." According to CinemaBlend, the first two episodes of the upcoming season that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival revealed that Bledel's Malek had returned to Gilead. While the reasoning given for the same was not published, Malek presumably returned for more revenge after the bloody ending to season 4. Another potential reason behind Malek's exit could be because of the distance that has crept in between her and her wife Sylvia since her return from Gilead. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post To make up for Bledel's absence, the two episodes at TIFF witnessed the return of Malek's wife, Sylvia, played by Clea DuVall. While DuVall has been a recurring character in the series, she was absent in season 4.
