The Handmaid’s Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly part of the U.S. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted religious fundamentalism that treats women as property of the state. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a handmaid in the commander’s household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world. She is forced to navigate between commanders, their cruel wives, domestic marthas and her fellow handmaids — where anyone could be a spy for Gilead — all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.
In a cliffhanger ending, June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss)’s fellow handmaidens swept her away as the Children of Gilead managed to escape and make their way to Canada.
Season 4 of The Handmaid’s Tale started filming in Toronto in March but production shut down within a few weeks because of the coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic.
Working title: Phoenix.
Production of season 4 should resume — with new Covid-19 safety protocols — sometime in the next few months.
Last year, Torontonians got to see the filming of a hanging at Toronto City Hall.
