On Monday June 10, 2019, on M-Net 101 at
22h00, a grim new season of The
Handmaid’s Tale starts. Season 3 continues to be driven by titular handmaid
June, played by Elisabeth Moss. Based on the award-winning, best-selling
Margaret Atwood novel of the same name, The
Handmaid’s Tale explores a harrowing future in the dystopia of Gilead, a
totalitarian society in what was formerly part of the United States. Facing
environmental disasters and a plunging birth-rate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted
fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state.
In Season 3, we find June’s resistance to
the regime taking centre stage, after opting not to flee to Canada with her
baby at the end of Season 2. Evermore resolute, our heroine finds that striking
back against her oppressors is a struggle she must face against overwhelming
odds: there will be startling reunions, betrayals and a journey to the
terrifying heart of Gilead which will force all characters to take a stand,
guided by one defiant prayer: "Blessed be the fight.”
