“The Handmaid’s Tale” showrunner Bruce Miller knows the show triggered “thousands of discussions” in its inaugural run — and as production continues on Season 2, Miller said he and his team have been paying attention to those conversations.
One major issue for the Emmy-winning Hulu series — nominated Monday for three Golden Globes — was that how to approach racial issues. While Margaret Atwood’s original novel took place in an all-white world (due to the ethnic purging orchestrated by the nightmare nation of Gilead), Miller and Atwood ended up making the decision to incorporate a diverse cast and focus on the treatment of women within this society.
“There was discussion and praise and criticism for how we integrated or dealt with race in Gilead,” he said. “It brought up a lot of questions that just didn’t come up in the stories in Season 1, that we were able to put it in...

One of the more eyebrow-raising moments of the 69th annual Emmy Awards came when Sterling K. Brown, accepting the award for Best Actor in a Drama (the first time the Emmy had gone to an African-American man since Andre Braugher in 1998, whom Brown name-checked), was cut off mid-speech. It’s a pattern familiar to those who watch awards shows, especially given that the award was one of the last of the night. But exactly how long had Brown been talking at that point? And how did the length of his speech compare to others of the evening?
IndieWire crunched the numbers and has the answers. We clocked the runtimes for each acceptance speech (as hosted on CBS’s official YouTube page), beginning our timer with the first word or “Ummmm” spoken into the microphone, listing them in ascending order of length. There’s no explicit pattern to why a speech...

As the line between politics and entertainment has become nonexistent, commentary at this year’s Emmy Awards about the Trump administration began with the opening number and never let up. While host Stephen Colbert set the quasi-political soapbox on stage, plenty of talent weighed in during their onstage speeches and backstage.
On Living in Trump’s America
During his acceptance speech, Outstanding Comedy Actor and Comedy Directing winner Donald Glover had thanked Donald Trump for “making black people No. 1 on the most-oppressed list.” Backstage, he didn’t really elaborate on that comment, but added, “It’s pretty obvious. Someone told me once that people in a dystopian society don’t realize they’re in a dystopian society… I think people are aware.”

With Donald Trump in the White House and Stephen Colbert hosting the show, it’s no surprise this year’s Emmy Awards took a turn for the political.

Hosted in celebratory fashion by Stephen Colbert, the 69th annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony Sept. 17 recognized the best of television’s best, crowning several new as well as repeating winners among the Television Academy’s 92 categories. Leading with the most wins of the evening was HBO, with 29 Emmys, including best limited series for Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman’s “Big Little Lies,” which claimed eight wins including leading actress for Kidman, supporting actor recognition for Laura Dern and Alexander Skarsgård, and directing victories. Netflix and NBC followed with 20 and 15 total wins, respectively. After eight acting nominations, Elisabeth Moss finally claimed an Emmy for dystopian drama “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which she also produced; Hulu’s first big awards success took home the big outstanding drama series prize. In a year without “Game of Thrones,” the hit series scooped up eight wins, including supporting actress Ann Dowd, director Reed Morano, and writer Bruce Miller.

While “The Handmaid’s Tale” was first published in 1985, viewers of the Hulu series based on the novel couldn’t help notice the current parallels, especially following the election of Donald Trump and the backlash against immigrants in countries like the UK. Series showrunner Bruce Miller, who won his first Emmy for outstanding writing for a drama series for “The Handmaid’s Tale,” said that people can’t help and see those similarities, even if the story wasn’t written in 2017. “Everything that happened in the novel happened somewhere in the world to women,” Miller told reporters after his win.

From the moment casting director Sherry Thomas and her associates at Bialy/Thomas read Bruce Miller’s pilot script for dystopian drama “The Handmaid’s Tale,” they knew it was a show they had to work on. “I was blown away,” she says. Now she’s landed her second Emmy recognition (the first was in 2014 for “Breaking Bad”), alongside Russell Scott and Sharon Bialy.

Watch the credits for many of your favorite shows or films, and you might notice that the stars aren’t just listed for the parts they play; some of them might be credited as a producer on the project. Sometimes, this is because the stars in question played an integral role in getting the project made. And sometimes this is because the stars have requested something known as a “vanity” credit.
But when it came to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Elisabeth Moss’s producer credit has nothing to do with vanity.

In theory, Emmy voters should reward Bruce Miller’s unique adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic Sci-Fi novel. That being said, “Stranger Things” is hugely popular with the Television Academy (note those 19 nominations) and that might push it to the top. “The Crown” is also the sort of prestige series that could take this honor especially with Peter Morgan‘s three earlier Emmy nominations and two Oscar screenwriting nods.

Hulu’s biggest awards play yet paid off this year, as “The Handmaid’s Tale” was nominated for 13 Emmy awards for its first extraordinary season — one which echoed disturbingly timely themes reflected in real world events. While the searing dystopian drama captivated critics with its detail-rich production design and jaw-dropping storytelling, it came into the awards race as an underdog, mostly due to Hulu’s lack of history with awards success.

Margaret Atwood, author of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” would consider adding a famous cameo in the show’s second season. In an interview with Boston Review, Atwood told interviewer and author Junot Diaz (who also edits the publication) that she would love to have rapper, actor and fellow Canadian, Drake, in a cameo. “Wouldn’t it be fun for him to have a cameo in Season 2 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale?'” she proposed. “I’ll drop that notion into the ear of Bruce Miller, the showrunner, and see what he can do with that, because of course the show is filmed in Toronto.

If you haven’t watched the first season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which just released its 10th and final episode on Hulu today, you have missed out on, arguably, the best new show of 2017. Bruce Miller’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic 1985 science fiction novel proved to have unexpected relevancy in these perilous times. Miller had already found a way to bring a modern context to the material, but the surprise result of last November’s election as well as the Trump administration and Gop’s intent on rolling back rights across the board have made the final product feel a little too close to home.

Now nine episodes into its first season, The Handmaid’s Tale has firmly established itself as one of the best shows of 2017.
Adapted from Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, the Hulu original series tells the story of women placed in servitude -- and subjected to ritualized rape in order to stave off infertility -- shortly after the fall of the U.S. government to a totalitarian and Christian fundamentalist government known as Gilead. At the center of this near-future dystopian saga (and the audience’s narrator) is Offred (Elisabeth Moss), a woman caught while trying to flee to Canada and eventually forced to become a handmaid in the household of Commander Fred Waterford and his wife, Serena Joy (played by Joseph Fiennes and Yvonne Strahovski).

The much anticipated adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” is making its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival with a panel discussing the timely world premiere. Featured in one of the series of Tribeca Talks happening at the Festival, the panel for “The Handmaid’s Tale” will hold a conversation with its executive producers and the majority of its main cast.
Atwood’s book was published in 1985, quickly cementing itself and its author as required feminist reading of the 20th century. The story follows Offred, a woman designated to the lower caste of the Handmaid in a dystopian world called Gilead. “The Handmaid’s Tale” is a story about confronting the patriarchy in a world that doesn’t feel so distant from our own.

A show based on a novel written in the past, ostensibly set in the near future, but really about today — “The Handmaid’s Tale” is a haunting confluence of tenses. It’s also one of the best shows of the year so far, at times hard to watch but impossible to ignore.
The series revolves around a woman known as Offred (Elisabeth Moss), who is one of the few fertile women left in the nation of Gilead, a fundamentalist dystopia where the birth rate is dismal and women have been stripped of all rights. Offred serves as a “vessel” for a high-ranking Commander (Joseph Fiennes) and his wife (Yvonne Strahovski), but still remembers her old life as an American citizen and a free woman, prior to the rise of the new regime. While she can’t let go of her memories, especially those of the husband (O. T. Fagbenle) and...

While she can’t let go of her memories, especially those of the husband (O. T. Fagbenle) and...

Offred, the central character who narrates Margaret Atwood‘s 1985 novel “The Handmaid’s Tale,” often closes a chapter with a pithy summation of her state of mind: “My self is a thing I must now compose, as one composes a speech” or “How can I keep on living?” or “So it was worse than I thought.” Offred, the narrator of Bruce Miller‘s adaptation of Atwood’s book, played by Elisabeth Moss, is pithier still; one of the first three episodes of Hulu‘s terrific new show, which will be available to watch on April 26th, ends with her internal monologue whispering just one word: “Fuck.”
It’s an indication that this is a updated take on the story — this ain’t your momma’s ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ — but the motives the behind the changes do not feel as crassly commercial as they so often do.

Cue the handmaids.
The Tribeca Film Festival announced its second annual Tribeca TV program on Thursday and it includes a range of world premieres, popular show returns and a slate of independent pilots. One of the most highly anticipated debuts will be Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Tribeca 2017 Lineup: New Fillms From Alex Gibney, Azazel Jacobs and Laurie Simmons Lead the Eclectic Mix
The series has been in the news lately, and not only because it will premiere soon. The dystopian story about a government forcing fertile women to become breeders for their high-ranking officials has struck a nerve among progressive women who are wary of having their health and reproductive rights controlled. Recently, protestors dressed in the handmaids’ red robes and white bonnets made an appearance in the Texas Senate gallery as its members were passing abortion legislation.

Hulu has released a new trailer for its upcoming original drama series “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 best-selling novel of the same name, the series stars Elisabeth Moss in the lead role.
Moss plays Offred, a woman enslaved as a handsmaid in the household of the Commander of the nation of Gilead, a totalitarian regime in which women are simply property of the state. Offred is part of a group of fertile women forced into sexual servitude in an attempt to populate the world.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” is a bleak look at our possible future, but that doesn’t mean that it lacks faith in the human spirit.
In Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, a plague of infertility has swept the world in the future. In the land of Gilead, roughly where New England is now, a totalitarian regime has overtaken the government and has enslaved the remaining fertile women to become breeders for high-ranking officials.

Hulu doesn’t share the same ranks as Netflix and Amazon just yet, but the streaming site is slowly but surely building its own prestigious status. Casual, 11.22.63 and The Path, for instance, have all demonstrated their growth, and they’ll only continue to rise with this year’s The Handmaid’s Tale, which now has a beautiful and unsettling first trailer and poster.
Based on Margaret Atwood’s bestselling novel of the same name, The Handmaid’s Tale finds Mad Men‘s Elisabeth Moss as Offred, a woman attempting to survive a male-dominated totalitarian regime. She’s also among the few remaining fertile women forced to serve in sexual servitude in an attempt to repopulate the earth. Sounds like some pretty intense stuff, eh?

How do you turn one woman’s inner narrative into something visceral? Especially when that woman is describing the horrific dystopia in which she’s trapped? That’s the challenge director Reed Morano faced when she took on Hulu’s upcoming adaptation of “The Handmaid’s Tale” — and it was one that she relished.
“I just pitched the craziest ideas I could,” Morano told IndieWire on Saturday at the Television Critics Association press tour.
Showrunner Bruce Miller described the series, set in a dystopian world that subjugates women, as a “thriller.” But it’s also an intimate depiction of life in this terrifying world, told almost entirely from the point of view of Offred (Elisabeth Moss), a young woman forced essentially into sexual slavery.

In the name of keeping things fresh, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale will veer only a bit from the Margaret Atwood novel — though one distinct deviation has already drawn notice.
In the acclaimed 1985 novel, there is a white supremacist element to the Republic of Gilead, the theocratic military dictatorship that in a near-future has stripped women of many rights (reading included) and forced many to serve as handmaids — vessels through which society can procreate, after pollution has decimated fertility rates. Minorities, though, women included, were sent away to “homelands” in the Midwest.
In the Hulu series, however, Samira Wiley...

“The Handmaid’s Tale” executive producer Bruce Miller explained what the differences will be between the series and the source novel during the TCA Winter Press Tour on Saturday. “I think that when you have a novel and a TV show, the dynamics between the relationships have to be different,” Miller said of the Hulu series. One such difference is that both The Commander (Joseph Fiennes) and Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) have been aged down compared to their literary counterparts. “I was very mindful of the relationship between Serena Joy and Offred,” Miller said. “It bumped me when I saw in the movie that.
