THE HANDMAID’S TALE

It’s just a few short weeks until the return of Hulu’s award-winning drama The Handmaid’s Tale and it looks to be an epic sophomore season from the trailers that have been released. This latest one asks the audience, “Is this what freedom looks like?”

The follow-up season to the series’ Emmy-winning debut will be shaped by Offred’s pregnancy and her ongoing fight to free her future child from the misogynistic and dystopian horrors of Gilead.

The West Wing alum will play the role of Commander Joseph Lawrence, the architect of Gilead’s economy, described as gruff and intimidating, with a disheveled mad genius vibe.

Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei is joining the sophomore season for a guest-starring role. Creator Bruce Miller confirms that Tomei will be playing a commander’s wife.

After taking home major awards at both the Emmys and Golden Globes, The Handmaid’s Tale continues to keep the buzz going today as it releases the first look video at season two along with some gorgeous photos.

The Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, with The Handmaid’s Tale, Veep and Big Little Lies coming out on top. Here is a full list of winners.

“It’s so hard sometimes to do scenes by yourself,” the newly minted Emmy nominee, in the Best Supporting Actress in a Drama category, told Tracking Board

With HBO’s Game of Thrones and Netflix’s GLOW out of the running, we’ve been discussing the possible nominees, so here are our picks.

The Television Critics Association announced their nominations for the 2017 awards, giving Hulu its very first nomination for the critically acclaimed series The Handmaid’s Tale.

Season 1, Episode 10 – The first season of The Handmaid’s Tale ends on a strong note of resistance, leaving everything up in the air for next year.

Season 1, Episode 9 – In the penultimate episode of the season The Handmaid’s Tale focuses back on the women, thankfully, but only revs up to season ending level excitement in the final few minutes of the episode.

Season 1, Episode 8 – This episode shines when focusing on the relationships between the women of Gilead, but falls flat when it strays away from that.

Season 1, Episode 7 – This episode told entirely from Luke’s perspective is a compelling story, but loses a lot of what makes The Handmaid’s Tale a great and unique show.

Season 1, Episode 6 – It’s a different sort of episode, when The Handmaid’s Tale focuses more on the politics of Gilead. Despite powerful moments, something seems a bit off.

Season 1, Episode 5 – As we approach the halfway point of the season, Offred’s slowly become more rebellious as more harsh truths of Gilead are revealed.

Season 1, Episode 4 – In excerpts from Offred’s past, and a look at how she handles her current situation, seeds of a rebellion slowly start to grow in this week’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

Season 1, Episode 3 – In the most intense episode of The Handmaid’s Tale to date, it becomes more and more apparent that the value of these women is directed related to if they can have a child.

Season 1, Episode 2 – Tensions are high in the second episode of The Handmaid’s Tale, as customs of the world are explored and Offred’s situation becomes more interesting.

Season 1, Episode 1 – The series premiere of The Handmaid’s Tale is excellently crafted, adapted, and all too chillingly relevant.

The Handmaid’s Tale envisions a not-so-distant future in which the United States has been overthrown and refashioned as the Republic of Gilead, a theocratic dictatorship guided by “traditionalist values.”
