While opening up about saying farewell “The Handmaid’s Tale” after six seasons, the show’s creative team said it felt the series didn’t warn people enough about the dangers of authoritarianism amid President Donald Trump’s contentious return to the White House.
“It’s shocking to me, when I think about when I joined the show, I had more rights as a woman than I have now,” co-showrunner and executive producer Yahlin Chang told TheWrap. “Leaving the show, we created this sort of cautionary tale, and I think we kind of failed, or we didn’t caution enough people, because we’re in even darker days now, which is unbelievable.”
