Blessed be, the new season of
The Handmaid's Tale has arrived.
Daily Billboard feels slightly depressed and nauseous looking at these sophomore season billboards remembering the dystopian near-future world they conjure of fertile women used as baby incubators, regularly raped, their freedom and liberty replaced by misogyny, servitude and sometimes mutilation.
A modern world turned upside-down, where women are controlled entirely by men,
LGBT citizens are slaughtered because of religious zealotry and democracy in
America is dead.
Last year
Hulu's critically-acclaimed adaptation of
Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel not only resonated with viewers because of the current political climate, but also the women's movement in post-
Trump America, garnering eight
Emmys and two
Golden Globes for its outstanding performances, cultural relevance and tone.
In these all-new episodes we venture beyond the source material to find out what happens next to
Elisabeth Moss as
'Offred/June', explore the contaminated wastelands of the
Colonies through the eyes of
Alexis Bledel's renegade
'Ofglen/Emily', check in on
Samira Wiley's 'Moira' after her escape to
Canada and learn more of how the twisted totalitarian and theocratic
Republic of Gilead came to be.
These season two billboards for the
Hulu original series were snapped along the
Sunset Strip and
Santa Monica Boulevard from April 14 to April 17, 2018.
Fans of the equally disturbing and compelling drama can also check out these season one and awards consideration
billboards for The Handmaid's Tale.
Let's hope that these brave women, and the world we exist in, never has to ever endure life
"Under his eye" ever again.
