He added on whether such rumors could be considered true, “All right, I’m good at making things worse – that’s how I make all of my money.”
He also spoke about the plot in the finale, “Well, if you go back and watch the pilot, at the beginning of the pilot, you can hear her click that tape recorder that she clicks at the end of the series to start recording ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ in the audio – and we didn’t go back and put that in, that was there”.

The final scene features June (Elisabeth Moss) who documents her story in the Waterfords’ demolished home, including the initial voiceover monologue as Offred.
