Which Handmaid is portrayed by actress Madeline Brewer?

Madeline Brewer portrays Janine in The Handmaid's Tale television series.

Janine Lindo is introduced as a Handmaid assigned to the Waterford household, where she is known by the patronymic name Ofwarren. Brewer's performance presents Janine as one of the show's most psychologically vulnerable yet resilient characters.

Janine's backstory includes her work at a fast-food restaurant and her young son, Caleb, before Gilead's rise. At the Red Center, she loses an eye after challenging Aunt Lydia, an injury that becomes one of the series' clearest demonstrations of Gilead's brutality.

A common mix-up is confusing Janine with Emily, who is played by Alexis Bledel and is initially known as Ofglen. The similar “Of” names are assigned according to the Commander a Handmaid serves, not the woman's real identity.
