A version of this story on Kari Skogland first appeared in the Down to the Wire issue of TheWrap’s Emmy magazine.
“The Handmaid’s Tale” had a tough, dramatic second season, and director Kari Skogland was in the thick of it. After directing the finale of Season 1, she oversaw four of the 10 episodes in Season 2.
The episode for which Skogland received her Emmy nomination is the one that followed a Mike Barker-directed episode in which a bomb killed 26 commanders from the repressive Gilead regime, along with 31 of their handmaids. Skogland’s episode, “After,” opened with a stark, beautiful memorial ceremony held in a snowy forest clearing.
The episode also featured Samira Wiley’s character, Moira, finally learning the fate of her lover, Odette, and Offred, the handmaid who was once known as June (Elisabeth Moss), reaching a cautious peace with Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski), for whom she’s carrying a child.
