Minghella particularly highlights working with Moss in this installment, which significantly marks the actress’ directorial debut. As June withholds the whereabouts of her follow handmaids, she is subjugated to mental and physical torture, to the dismay of a perturbed Nick, who is unwilling to let her go. After June is on the run for the first two episodes, she is recaptured by Gilead at the of the second and sent to a harrowing detention facility in third, titled “The Crossing,” which serves as Minghella’s episode submission to Emmy judges. This is especially the case at the outset of the fourth season, which takes place in the aftermath of June helping 86 children and nine Marthas escape to Canada and sees Nick return from the front lines to the Eastern District. “He’s always trying to find a way to repent for what he’s done,” the actor continues, accentuating that Nick’s journey “is to find a way to regain some moral composure through this relationship” to and “helping” June (Moss). After having “no sort of breathing space” and being unable to “drop his guard” in the Waterford household, Nick has had “more opportunity for freedom” as his role has expanded within Gilead, Minghella, in reference to his character’s development, expounds. As the show has progressed, however, his numerous layers have slowly been peeled back and the person behind his ostensible stoicism gradually unveiled.

A now 75-time Emmy nominee and 15-time winner, the show took home the Best Drama Series honor in 2017 and became the first series on a streaming service to take home a series prize at the Emmys. The series is based on Margaret Atwood‘s 1985 novel of the same name, which is set in a dystopian near-future America, where women are enslaved as ‘handmaids’ due to plummeting birth-rates and forced to bear children for the ruling class in the new authoritarian Gilead theocracy. In our exclusive video interview (watch above), Minghella discusses his character’s progression throughout the series, his Emmy episode submission, and his collaboration with leading lady and director Elisabeth Moss. “T o see so much of the ‘Handmaid’s’ family recognized, but specifically the crew, was really meaningful because this year was so arduous and difficult,” Minghella says euphorically about his individual and the show’s recognition. Among the 21 Emmy nominations Hulu’s “ The Handmaid’s Tale” racked up this year is the career-first citation for one of its series regulars, Max Minghella, who plays Nick Blaine on the show.
