Nina Kiridžija (Serbian Cyrillic: Нина Кириџиjа), known as Nina Kiri (Serbian Cyrillic: Нина Кири), is a Serbian-Canadian actress, best known for playing Alma in the Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025).
Kiri was born as Nina Kiridžija in Belgrade, Serbia in what was then the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, during the Yugoslav Wars.[1] Her family moved to Vancouver, Canada, where she first started performing in school theatre, then professionally on stage starting in 2007.[1]
Career
Kiri's first screen role was a short appearance in the 2011 Disney Channel television movie Geek Charming. In 2016, Kiri teamed up with fellow Serbian-Canadian Sanja Živković,[2] who directed Kiri in the short film Cleo.[1] Kiri had starring roles in a trio of horror films: Let Her Out (2016), The Haunted House on Kirby Road (2016) and The Heretics (2017). Kiri's performance in The Heretics earned her the Festival Prize for Best Actress at the Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival.[3]
Kiri gained prominence in 2017 playing the handmaid Alma in the television series The Handmaid's Tale. First introduced in the series’ opening episode as Ofrobert, she's a character who assists June in connecting with the resistance. Alma is killed by a train during an escape attempt from Gilead, but she's later seen in flashbacks throughout seasons 5 and 6.[4] Following this, she starred as Evy in the psychological horror film Undertone (2025), an A24 production that screened at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
