The handmaid's tale. Season 1 [videorecording] / MGM presents an MGM and Hulu production ; MGM Television Entertainment Inc. and Relentless Productions, LLC ; Daniel Wilson Productions, Inc. ; the Littlefield Company ; White Oak Pictures ; MGM Television ; Hulu Originals ; created for television by Bruce Miller ; produced by Joseph Boccia, Elisabeth Moss ; consulting producer, Margaret Atwood.
"The Handmaid's Tale" is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized "return to traditional values." As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred ... is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, belonging to the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids - where anyone could be a spy for Gilead - with one goal: to survive and find the daughter who was taken from her.
