What turned out to be the most disturbing commercial to air during last night’s Super Bowl was a total bait and switch. First, we’re treated to Norman Rockwell-esque images of life in America; a narrator emphasizes the contributions of women in our collective society. Then the hammer drops: It’s a teaser for The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3!
If you missed it during last night’s game, give the teaser a look-see at the top of the article. Most insiders expect Season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale to premiere on Hulu sometime in May. Subscribers can catch up on Seasons 1 and 2 anytime.
Synopsis:
Based on the best-selling novel by
Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what
used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist
regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with
environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to
repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into
sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the
terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.
