For the cast and crew ofHandmaids,the story developmentwas inevitable and game-changing.
Its one of those things that had to happen, Moss tells EW.
There isnt a scene in that Waterford house we havent done, there isnt a place we havent been.
Its also something thats very disruptive to the characters.
As to Serenas exact thinking?
She just doesnt care anymore.
And rest assured, that house isgone.
Youre never going to see it again, Moss promises.
For proof, look to the way the sequence was filmed.
We literally did burn it, Moss reveals.
A lot of it was charred and actually burnt.
This made the production of the scene a little tricky.
I was actually standing in front of the burning bedroom, Strahovski says.
At one point, big chunks of ash were floating around that were very much lit.
I dont think Ive ever stood that close to a fire.
It was a little disconcerting for me!
The burning of the Waterford home portends big change, undeniably.
But intriguingly, the whole scene carries a sense of glee to it.
And for Miller, this was very much by design.
That, to me, is what it was all about.
New episodes ofThe Handmaids Taledrop Wednesdays on Hulu.
