At its core, The Handmaid's Tale's costume design is a matter of status. Each handmaid is given a red 'uniform' - a scarlet letter that distinguishes them as 'other' while making them easily identifiable should they attempt a futile escape.

Not only does Janine escape Gilead, but she also reunites with her daughter, Charlotte... Proof that no one is beyond redemption, maybe?

"I felt like a grounded version of Nick, and what I was really impressed by was how much it was not what I thought it was going to be."

"The Handsmaid's Tale returns for its sixth and final season, expanding beyond the original novel's plot, ending in a cliffhanger leading to a sequel adaptation."
