The Handmaid’s Tale season 5 spoilers: More on a new adversary
Of course, much of the series is going to continue to revolve around Elisabeth Moss and her character of June Osborne. After all, how can it not? She’s just taken out Commander Waterford and is working to lead the charge in Toronto against Gilead and their oppressive, horrific regime.

However, one of the big threats entering this upcoming season is that some of the threats are going to come from within. With that in mind, we present some more news about Mrs. Wheeler, a new threat and a follower of Serena north of the border. Genevieve Angelson plays this character, and it is fair to say that she’s not going to have positive opinions about June.
So how does Angelson describe this character, or at least how she gets into the headspace to play her? In a new interview with TVLine, she admits that it is complicated:
“I am tempted to say that, in reality, there are no villains. And while Serena is ‘the bad guy’ on the show, Serena also is coming up with very painful solutions to a very painful problem … She’s going to drastic ends.
“In order to play Mrs. Wheeler, I couldn’t say ‘I’m playing a bad guy.’ I had to say, ‘I’m playing someone who’s willing to do anything to continue the human race, and that’s what we’re up against. So, do I want to be the person I am being? Maybe not. But I am accepting that is my reality, that is what I’m doing. That was how I got by with that.”
Of course, June is also going to have a fair share of allies of her own, but the struggle ahead is not going to be easy, and nor will it go in a straight line. She needs to be prepared on all fronts.
