After a year and a half, dystopian drama “The Handmaid’s Tale” is returning to Hulu amid a notably different social and political climate than the one it left. But in doing so, it will inevitably reflect on where we’ve been, as well as offer a fictional take on where we may be going.Bruce Miller
When “The Handmaid’s Tale” was last streaming new episodes, Donald Trump was still holding the presidential office during the summer of 2019, when the third season of the streaming adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name wrapped up. Family separation was making news headlines, as were multiple shooting incidents across the United States and allegations of trafficking and other sex offenses against Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in jail the week before the finale episode.
“So much of June’s journey, especially in the back half of the season [is] about a feeling of rage and anger,” Moss previewed, adding that June won’t give into the desire to just “sweep things under the rug.”Behind-the-scenes of the fourth season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” saw changes, as well, due to COVID-19, which necessitated some rewriting of scenes and remote collaboration.
“Thee practical realities of producing and making the show on the ground were very, very difficult. But the people in front of the camera, we tried for the mot part to protect that space — that those guys were doing what they would have been doing any way,” Miller said. “The biggest change was it was difficult to get our cast into Canada to shoot. We had to keep people out of episodes simply because they didn’t have enough time in their schedules.
