Bradley Whitford Spots Exactly Why 'Handmaid's Tale' Is 'Terribly Relevant' In 2025
HuffPost
The actor said the show is telling a "terrifying truth" as its final season gets underway.
Bradley Whitford broke down why “The Handmaid’s Tale” is “terribly relevant” on Tuesday as the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning show reaches its sixth and final season.
The actor, who appeared on the “Today” show on Tuesday, recalled reading Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel when he was studying drama at Juilliard School ― a time when both democracy and a “more inclusive world seemed to be inevitable.”
“Her book and the show tells a terrifying truth which is that none of those things are inevitable,” said Whitford, who portrays Commander Joseph Lawrence in a show that depicts a future where women are subjected to sexual slavery at the hands of a theocratic dictatorship headed by men.
“They never were and they never will be. And we have to remain protective of those things in our society.”
Whitford noted that the show takes place in a time where women’s health is “politicized in a way that I never could have imagined” a decade ago.
