Following its debut on Hulu last year, “The Handmaid’s Tale” quickly became a part of the narrative for women’s rights and gender equality. Now, in the wake of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, the show’s second season is once again drawing comparisons to today’s headlines.
Star Elisabeth Moss told Variety at the “Handmaid’s” premiere on Thursday that the new season is “so much about what it means to resist this year — so much about female empowerment but also women banding together and what happens when you split them apart. I think that’s a very relevant issue right now.”
Moss, coming off a best actress Emmy win for her portrayal of Offred, now June, said that when the show resumes, “Offred is disappearing, Offred is fading, and there’s a new June coming, not the June from the flashbacks, the June that will be in Gilead and post-Gilead.
