It’s always fun to hear about actors taking mementos from their iconic roles, and The Handmaid’s Tale cast members certainly made sure to keep a few things from the set. Elizabeth Moss, who stars as Offred, admitted to “looting the place” before the final season wrapped. She took the entire handmaid costume, though she jokingly noted she didn’t know what she’d do with it. Moss also grabbed a Scrabble board, proving that some treasures from the set don’t have to be dramatic—just sentimental.
Other cast members took their own pieces of the show’s iconic wardrobe. Madeline Brewer, who plays Janine, walked off the set with Janine’s eyepatch, and Yvonne Strahovski, as Serena Joy, took the leather finger, calling it a “winner.” Even showrunner Eric Tuchman got in on the action, taking an entire handmaid costume, bonnet to boots, which he plans to keep in his closet.
The fact that the cast and crew hold onto these symbols of the show speaks to how meaningful their time on the project has been, and it’s clear The Handmaid’s Tale has had a deep impact on all involved. As for the final season, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of this critically acclaimed series, which will start streaming on Hulu on April 8, 2025. It’s sure to be a thrilling and emotional conclusion!
