Rosco SoftDrop® Helps Create An Affluent Dystopia In The Handmaid’s Tale

Rosco Spectrum: The dystopian, totalitarian society that you know as Gilead lays the framework for the hit Hulu series, now in its third season, which was adapted from Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale by Writer and Executive Producer Bruce Miller. This world is very much meant to mirror our own while also exaggerating distortions of a patriarchal, religious hierarchy that now rules society. In the third season, we see more of Commander Lawrence, a character introduced in Season 2 and played by Bradley Whitford. Several scenes are shot inside Commander Lawrence’s estate, and the filmmakers relied on Rosco SoftDrop to create the background setting for these scenes.
