Just when you thought things couldn't get any more like the terrifying dystopian future in
The Handmaid's Tale where men rape and mutilate women's bodies and regulate their reproductive rights,
Republican-led states
Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Dakota, Ohio and
Georgia are all trying to make abortion illegal in 2019.
That's why
Hulu's adaptation of
Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel has never been more timely, but at least with its third season we're starting to see women fight back, from
Handmaids to
Marthas and even
Commander's wives.
At the end of the sophomore season
Elisabeth Moss' 'June' helped her friend and fellow red cloak and wings wearer
'Emily' escape across the border to
Canada with her own baby daughter, but elected to stay behind and rescue her other young daughter from the nightmare of
Gilead.
From the looks of these billboards
June is ready to set herself and others free, and even wearing her hair loose and flowing down her back is an act of defiance in the crazy patriarchal and theocratical society she's forced to endure.
These season three billboards were captured along
Santa Monica Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard, La Brea Avenue and the
Sunset Strip from May 24 to June 6, 2019.
Fans of the compelling drama can also check out these previous season promo and awards consideration
billboards for The Handmaid's Tale.
'Blessed be the fight' indeed, as this series is becoming more and more like a survival guide and roadmap to
Trump's America every day.
Never stop resisting because you know what the future may hold.
UPDATED: Here are also some powerful
'For your consideration' billboards for the winter awards season.
The
"All too real" billboard featuring
June was snapped along the
Sunset Strip, whilst the
Jospeh Fiennes ad version was spotted high over
Beverly Boulevard on November 26, 2019.
And here's another season three consideration billboard for
Yvonne Strahovski spotted along
