Ted Takes Fun Facts, The Handmaid's Tale:
- The actresses have said that the head coverings they wear when they go outside are like blinders, completely cutting off their peripheral vision. The actresses can't see each other unless they're looking directly at each other. They have to act largely based on what they can hear.
- Margaret Atwood, the source novel's author, has said that she was greatly inspired by George Orwell's classic dystopian novel, 1984. Atwood makes a cameo as an aunt in episode 1. She is the one who slaps Offred when she is reluctant to join in the group shaming circle.
