The Handmaid’s Tale (2017–2025)
Step into the chilling, dystopian world of The Handmaid’s Tale, a haunting series based on Margaret Atwood’s iconic novel. Set in a totalitarian society where a patriarchal regime has overthrown the United States, this gripping drama chronicles the oppression of women, the struggle for freedom, and the unyielding power of resistance.
Created by Bruce Miller, The Handmaid’s Tale is as relevant as ever, striking at the core of issues around gender, autonomy, and human rights.
The story follows Offred (Elisabeth Moss), a woman forced into servitude as a “handmaid” in the theocratic society of Gilead, where fertile women are enslaved to bear children for the elite.
Offred’s journey is one of survival, resistance, and quiet defiance as she navigates a world where every aspect of her life is controlled by ruthless leaders and oppressive laws.
As she forms alliances with fellow handmaids, tries to reunite with her lost family, and seeks vengeance against those who have wronged her, Offred becomes a symbol of hope for the women of Gilead.
