Hulu’s new show The Handmaid’s Tale has some big names attached to their new project, Elisabeth Moss, Joseph Fiennes and Samira Wiley. Now, it has been revealed that Gilmore Girls’ Alexis Bledel is joining the cast too.
The drama series is based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 best-selling novel. It tells the story of life in a not-so-far future dystopia called Gilead, formerly the United States, where birthrates have plummeted and society treats women as property of the state. Fertile women are in short supply and, due to the totalitarian caste system, forced into sexual servitude for high-ranked officers, in an attempt to repopulate. Moss plays Offred, one such handmaid, who must warily navigate her role in her household. Bledel plays Ofglen, her assigned companion, who may either be a friend or spy.
The show premieres April 26 on Hulu.
