The Handmaid's Tale

Everything we’ve seen from Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale has seemed equal parts timely and enrapturing, but a first trailer for the Elisabeth Moss-led series very much seals the deal. See for yourself, as the world becomes a dystopian, misogynist hell that Offred is intent on surviving in the first footage.

It could be time yet before Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale gets a first trailer, but the Elisabeth Moss-led continues to outdo itself in casting. Newly revealed among the major cast is Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel, in a role presumably more sympathetic than Rory Gilmore.

Our first look at Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale certainly got tongues wagging, though the streaming service declined to specify any further than an April 2017 premiere. Now, we know exactly when the Elisabeth Moss-led series will debut, while another round of photos give us gorgeous new looks at the cast.

Hulu’s forthcoming adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale has only felt more topical in recent weeks, even if the new Elisabeth Moss drama won’t formally premiere until April 2017. You don’t have to wait that long for a first look, however, as some impressive first photos have made their way online.

No more than halfway through November, and already TV is partitioning out your schedule for 2017. The latest to set its round of new premieres is Hulu, with a religious return for The Path Season 2, along with Elisabeth Moss’ adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, and more.

Hulu hasn’t exactly made the biggest splash when it comes to breakout drama, but lord knows Peggy Olson can revive a flagging brand. Following Top of the Lake Season 2, Mad Men alum Elisabeth Moss will Lead Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, bowing in 2017.
