《使女的故事》 第二季

　　The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 (2018)

　　首播: 2018-04-25(美国) 集数: 13

　　这部剧改编自加拿大著名作家玛格丽特•阿特伍德(Margaret Atwood)所著的同名小说。故事设定在未来世界，探讨性别歧视等相关社会话题，第一季一经播出就反响不俗，国内豆瓣评分高达8.8分，更在金球奖和艾美奖上斩获“最佳剧情类剧集”等数个重量级奖项。

　　第一季中故事背景设定在了一个虚构的未来极权国家——基列(Gilead)共和国。因环境污染严重，人类的生育能力骤降，神权军事独裁派建立了一个全新的男权社会，有生育能力的年轻女人被强制抓走充当“使女”，安排给富裕的家庭生孩子。女主奥弗雷迪(Offred)是使女中的一员，她的女儿被眼线(The Eyes)抢走，为了女儿和自由，奥弗雷迪在这个极权社会下努力求存。

　　A religion-based autocracy has taken over most of the United States, renaming the country Gilead. In this country women are second-class citizens. Anyone trying to escape is punished. One such person is June, who is captured while trying to escape with her husband and child and is sentenced to be a handmaid, bearing children for childless government officials. As a handmaid, June is renamed Offred. This is her story.

　　第二季预告片展现出了该剧肃杀沉重的气氛，被捕的女主奥芙丽德被堵住了嘴巴，她的朋友 Moria 则颠沛流离。新一季将拓展到殖民地方面的故事，聚焦奥芙丽德的怀孕过程，她要努力为即将出世的孩子脱离恐怖统治，寻求光明未来。

　　The Emmy-winning drama series returns with a second season shaped by Offred's pregnancy and her ongoing fight to free her future child from the dystopian horrors of Gilead. "Gilead is within you" is a favorite saying of Aunt Lydia. In Season Two, Offred and all our characters will fight against — or succumb to — this dark truth.

　　主演伊丽莎白•莫斯(Elisabeth Moss)在一次采访中曾提到，第二季将“更为黑暗、更为虐心”。至于第二季能否延续第一季的犀利与先锋，就让我们拭目以待啦~

　　According to star Elisabeth Moss in an interview with The Pool, "season two is going to be bad too, really dark – it's going to get worse".
