The drama series based on the novel of the same name written by Margaret Atwood is set in a dystopian future where fertility rates have dropped and the few fertile women remaining, called Handmaids, have been forced into servitude; they are ritually raped so they can get pregnant and bear children for wealthy couples. Season 1 follows the lives of several members of this society: Fred (Joseph Fiennes) and Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) are a powerful couple who own Handmaid June (Elisabeth Moss); Emily (Alexis Bledel) is a lesbian who escaped death by being made a Handmaid; Janine (Madeline Brewer) is a Handmaid who won’t accept her condition; Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) is the woman in charge of the Handmaids.
