'The Handmaid's Tale' cast and crew feel like America is turning into the hellscape their show's fictional Gilead portrays
"We're on a very, very slippery slope toward Gilead," Warren Littlefield, an executive producer of the Hulu show, told CNN's"Reliable Sources" host Brian Stelter Sunday."Yes, yes," Ann Dowd agreed. Dowd plays Aunt Lydia, one of the most ardent supporters of a post-apocalyptic fascist regime that, in the show, replaced the United States sometime in the not-too-distant future.
The cast and crew filmed the first season during the 2016 US presidential election."It was scary in season one, and it got more and more serious as we were shooting the pilot that 'this is happening.'"As an example, Dowd pointed to a series of laws restricting abortion that state legislatures have passed in recent weeks."When I saw what was going on in Georgia, I thought, 'This can't be real,'" she said."It stunned me.
