Elisabeth Moss has been receiving accolades for her work in The Handmaid’s Tale, where she both acted and directed. During discussions about her current series, the actress expressed interest in reprising her role as Peggy Olsen if Mad Men were to be remade. On Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she was asked whether she would take up the role again if given the opportunity.

In response, the star of The Invisible Man gratefully acknowledged, “I appreciate your interest in that.” Continuing the conversation, she disclosed, “I wouldn’t turn down opportunities like that. I’m not someone who says, ‘Let me move on and do…’ Mad Men is among the most exceptional projects I’ve been involved with, and it will always hold a special place for me.

Moss expressed enthusiasm, saying, “I’d absolutely love to reprise that role. I adored portraying her.

In seven seasons of “Mad Men,” played out on AMC and developed by Matthew Weiner, the actress brought Peggy Olsen to life. Initially, her character was an assistant to Don Draper, portrayed by Jon Hamm.

In addition, the actress shared insights into directing herself in episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale. Elisabeth Moss, from The Shining Girls, admitted that she didn’t experience strong emotions about this task but found it self-centered to delay everyone on set while checking each shot for her satisfaction.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that we’ve reached the sixth and concluding season of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The curtain rose on this captivating new chapter on April 8, with subsequent episodes being unveiled weekly, exclusively on Hulu.
