Any new character coming into The Handmaid's Tale will be met with both anticipation and expectation, such is the high level of quality the show achieved in its stunning debut season.

Luckily, Marisa Tomei is the kind of talent who'll be up to the task. The Oscar winner has a guest role in the upcoming second season, which no one will willing to talk too much about. We do know, however, that she'll be in an episode that involved the oft-discussed but never seen Colonies, and have a crucial part in Offred's story.

Tomei's a fantastic actress, and hopefully this will be a role for her to really sink her teeth into, even just for one episode. With a part to play in expanding the story and world beyond Margaret Atwood's novel, Tomei's character could leave a huge impression on the series.
