Here's How D.C. Appears In 'The Handmaid's Tale' [Spoiler alerts for Season 3]

Here’s How D.C. Appears In ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’
Carmel Delshad
Is it just us, or does the National Mall look a little different here?

Spoiler alerts for Season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale
D.C. transformed into a bleak shadow of itself in the newest episode of Hulu’s original series The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s still the center of government, but it’s even more of a nightmare compared to other locations set in the same dystopian future.
Back in February, the series brought a bunch of handmaids to the National Mall for a day of filming. Now, we finally get to see the result in the sixth episode of the season, “Household,” which dropped Wednesday.
To catch you up: Protagonist June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) travels to D.C. with Fred and Serena Waterford (Joseph Fiennes and Yvonne Strahovski) on a mission to bring back baby Nichole from Canada. (The infant escaped from Gilead with Emily [Alexis Bledel], but the Waterfords say she was kidnapped.) Whew.
If this were a home improvement show, we’d hate what they did with the place.
