Based on the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood, the series is set in a patriarchal dystopia called Gilead founded on what used to be the United States.
Women’s status is reduced to a much lower status than that of men, as they are denied basic rights such as being allowed to read or use money.

Season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale is scheduled to premiere on Hulu on September 14.
