Handmaid's Tale Casts McKenna Grace as Commander's Teenage Wife

2020-09-18

The Handmaid’s Tale is setting up a very May-December marriage: Mckenna Grace (The Haunting of Hill House) will recur during Season 4 of the Hulu drama as the teenaged wife of a much older Commander, our sister site Deadline reports.

Grace’s Mrs. Keyes is described as “a sharply intelligent” spouse who “rules her farm and household with confidence. She has a rebellious, subversive streak, and is calm and pious on the outside with turmoil, even insanity, on the inside,” per Deadline.

Production on the series was shut down in mid-March, just a few episodes into Season 4, as a result of the global coronavirus outbreak. Filming recently resumed two weeks ago in Toronto, Canada.

Grace’s other TV credits include Fuller House, Young Sheldon, Designated Survivor (as President Kirkman’s daughter), Once Upon a Time (as Young Emma Swan) and The Young and the Restless.

The Handmaid’s Tale is one of eight Outstanding Drama Series contenders at this Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards — though in TVLine’s annual poll, it ranked last (with less than 5 percent of the vote) among shows readers think will come away with the win.
