Season two of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” will offer a deeper look at the social and political conflicts that led to Gilead’s succession from the United States.
“Handmaid’s” producers and star Elisabeth Moss talked up the big themes of the upcoming season on Sunday morning during Hulu’s portion of the Television Critics Assn. press tour in Pasadena. Calif. Moss spoke alongside Bruce Miller, showrunner and executive producer of the MGM TV series, and exec producer Warren Littlefield.
The dystopian drama based on the famed 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood tells the story of an alternative reality in which the U.S. is rocked by civil war and women lose most of their civil rights in the Gilead state. Moss’ Offred character is a breeder who is forced to have sex with Gilead leaders in an effort to conceive at a time when most women have become infertile. Season 1 ends on a cliffhanger with Offred becoming pregnant and facing discipline for defying Gilead rules.
