Elisabeth Moss is expecting her first child!
The The Handmaid’s Tale star shared the news on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night.
“Are you pregnant or just an incredibly dedicated method actor?” host Jimmy Kimmel asked Moss, 41, to start their interview.
“A bit of both”, the Crazy people replied the star.
Moss went on to say that she’s been “really lucky” during her pregnancy journey, adding, “It’s been going really well.” She then asked Kimmel, 56, for advice.
The comedian was reminded of the advice he and his wife Molly McNearney received from Bill Murray when she was expecting one of their four children.
“He said, ‘Bring the Christmas lights so we can hang up [in the delivery room]”, Kimmel recalled, adding that Murray also proposed the introduction of battery-powered candles.

“Because the lighting in the room is terrible,” Kimmel said. “It’s Walmart-style lighting for this blessed event that’s going to happen, and you don’t want that.”
Moss did not reveal further details, including the child’s date of birth.
The actress stars in Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, a dystopian drama based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel. Before the show’s fifth season debuted in September 2022, the streamer renewed the series for a sixth and final season.

“It’s been a real honor to tell the story of Margaret Atwood’s groundbreaking novel and eerily relevant world, and we’re thrilled to bring viewers the sixth and final season The Handmaid’s Tale,” series creator and showrunner Bruce Miller said in a statement.
Added Miller, “We are grateful to Hulu and MGM for allowing us to tell this story, which unfortunately has remained as relevant as ever during its run, and we admire our incredible fans for their unwavering support, without whom we would never have come to this point.”

During the show’s season 5 finale FYC event in Los Angeles in November 2022, Moss told PEOPLE that it’s “terrifying” that the show has become more relevant since its debut. “It’s horrible, it’s beyond disturbing,” she said, adding that the show was “the most fulfilling, creative experience of my life.”
Moss was previously married to Fred Armisen for about a year before their divorce was finalized in 2011.
