As a devoted fan of thought-provoking television, I am absolutely thrilled by the recent announcement that Timothy Simons will be joining the cast of “The Handmaid’s Tale” for its final season! Having followed his career since his hilarious portrayal of Jonah Ryan in “Veep,” I can’t wait to see him bring a new character to life in this groundbreaking series.
It was announced that Timothy Simons from Veep will make a guest appearance in the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, the critically acclaimed series on Hulu. According to Variety, Simons will play a role in this Emmy-winning show that debuted in 2017 and is adapted from Margaret Atwood’s novel. Elisabeth Moss stars in The Handmaid’s Tale, which was the first streaming program ever to win the Emmy for Best Drama. Shows like Stranger Things followed suit, demonstrating that streaming services can deliver top-notch original content.
Simon is primarily recognized for his performance on the TV show “Veep,” where he embodied Jonah Ryan, a character who initially served as the White House liaison to Vice President Meyer’s office but ended up becoming her presidential adversary during the final season, spreading numerous theories akin to those being propagated in the current contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for the White House. For his work, Simon was nominated for five Screen Actors Guild Awards, securing one for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble Cast in a Comedy Series. He is also slated to feature in the second season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” on Disney+, taking on the role of Tantalus, the temporary Director of Activities at Camp Half-Blood.
In “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Simons will be joining Moss (June Osborne) once more, along with recurring actors Yvonne Strahovski (Serena Joy Waterford), Ann Dowd (Aunt Lydia), and Bradley Whitford (Commander Lawrence). Filming for the sixth and last season is currently taking place in Toronto, anticipating a spring 2025 release date.
The Handmaid’s Tale Is Only the Beginning
Over the past five seasons, “The Handmaid’s Tale” has mesmerized and unsettled viewers by telling a tale about women who are compelled to conceive under a repressive government while resisting patriarchal rule (does this scenario resonate with you?). However, the story doesn’t stop there. Although the final season will conclude Moss’ character arc, a fresh narrative is set to unfold in “The Testaments,” an upcoming spinoff series inspired by Atwood’s sequel novel of the same name.
First published in 2019, this story unfolds fifteen years following the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The narrative is shared by three characters: Aunt Lydia and June’s daughters, Agnes and Daisy. Margaret Atwood’s character, Aunt Lydia, will reappear in the upcoming series, while it’s undecided if Jordana Blake will return as Agnes. As for the role of Daisy, casting decisions have yet to be disclosed.
It’s common knowledge that the showrunner of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Bruce Miller, stepped back in 2023 to dedicate his time entirely to writing “The Testaments.” Although it’s widely speculated that the series might start filming around 2025 for a release in 2026, this is just an assumption as there has been little official news about its production. The details on the spinoff have been scarce so far.
Presently, you have the opportunity to stream all five seasons of “The Handmaid’s Tale” on Hulu. Look forward to discovering the part that Simons will play in the final season, which is set to premiere next year.
