Get Ready for Some Sexy Dystopian Realness!
Hulu debuted a new trailer this weekend for the upcoming "The Handmaid's Tale", a ten-episode series that will be available for viewing on the service starting on April 26th.
Fuck, I can't wait for this show to debut. Elisabeth Moss stars in the lead role of Offred the handmaid. Based off of a novel by Margaret Atwood, the government has been taken over by a conservative Christian force and following a nuclear accident that leaves most of the country's women sterile, women who can still bear children are forced into a form of sexual slavery.
Give this trailer a look - I had friends text me after seeing it saying that they totally get now why I am so excited about it. With Samira Wiley, Alexis Bledel (shown in that scary face mask), Yvonne Strahovski, Madeline Brewer, and Ann Dowd in the cast, there are a ton of nude sexy storytelling opportunities possible here. Check out the clothed Moss on the bed. The whole relationship between Moss' character Offred and her Commander/owner played here by Joseph Fiennes is a very complex, interesting one, and that shot means we are definitely going to see some of the sex that happens between them.
