The Handmaid's Tale: This is how the series shaped Elisabeth Moss' point of view

The second season of "The Handmaid's Tale" will soon be on free TV. Elisabeth Moss explains how the series changed the way she viewed it.

Only a few more days before the second season of "The Handmaid's Tale" will finally be on German free TV. Tele 5 will show the episodes exclusively on television from November 6th. The dystopian US hit series about Desfred, embodied by Elisabeth Moss (38), addresses important issues such as feminism and surveillance.

Moss is "a normal person"

In the run-up to the first broadcast, Moss revealed in an interview that the socially critical drama had also shaped her own perception as a woman. "I think the way (the show) has changed the way I see things personally is realizing that people are suddenly listening to me and interested in what I have to say," says the actress.

She wasn't really aware of this at first. Moss consider himself to be "a normal person whose opinion is just as important as that of everyone else". It was only later that she realized that her statements could make a difference.

That's what the second season is about

The story of the series "The Handmaid's Tale" is inspired by the bestseller "The Handmaid's Report" by Canadian author Margaret Atwood (80). The second season of the Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning drama focuses on Desfred's forced pregnancy and her ongoing struggle against a totalitarian regime. Large parts of humanity became sterile after an environmental disaster. As a maid, Desfred is supposed to ensure the continued existence of the human race.

In addition to Moss, other series and film stars such as Joseph Fiennes (50), Yvonne Strahovski (38), Alexis Bledel (39) and Ann Dowd (64) appear. Every Friday and Saturday, two episodes are to be shown on three consecutive weekends starting at 10:15 p.m. There are three episodes for the finale on November 21st.
