ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When we last saw Emily, it looked like maybe shed sealed her own fate.

I was told Emily would be back in season 2.

This season, we get to learn a lot about Emilys life from Before.

Was her backstory something youd thought about before this episode?Yes, I loved filming Emilys flashbacks.

I think much of her worldview is informed by her previous life as a professor of cellular biology.

Life in the Colonies is a last stop.

Marisa Tomei costars with you in the second episode.

What was that like?It was amazing to work with her; shes someone whose work I admire.

We had these incredibly dark, dramatic moments to play out that she brought so much depth to.

Anyone in Gilead would be terrified to be sent to the Colonies.

If you havent caught up onHandmaidsfirst season, you are in luck.

The Handmaids Taleseason 2 kicks off on April 25 on Hulu.
