Prepare To Feel Very Anxious As You Watch The Latest Trailer For ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’
Everything will be fine.
To coincide with International Women’s Day, Hulu have just dropped the latest trailer for their upcoming adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, and oh boy does it feel uncomfortably timely.
The ten episode series is based on Margaret Atwood’s seminal novel of the same name, and takes place in a grim dystopian future in which women are subjugated by a brutal authoritarian regime. Don’t worry though guys, it’s just a bit of fiction! No need to stress! IT WILL ALL BE FINE!
Set to the unsettling strains of a slow, distorted version of ‘Amazing Grace’, the new trailer is centred around star Elisabeth Moss, and also features a scene where police appear to crack down on protestors at a women’s rally. That Margaret Atwood lady sure does have a wild imagination.
Many of our national organizers have been arrested in an act of civil disobedience. We will not be silent. #DayWithoutAWoman
