After bagging three titles at the recently concluded 75th Golden Globe awards, including the coveted Best Drama TV series, dystopian drama The Handmaid's Tale is set to air for Indian audiences. Bruce Miller's American series is based on Margaret Atwood's novel by the same name, and follows life in a dystopian future where women, called handmaids, are forced into sexual and child-bearing services.

While Elisabeth Moss bagged the Best Actress Drama title at the gala for her act as Offred, a woman captured while she attempts to flee Canada with her family, while Ann Dowd's Lydia, who oversees the handmaids, won the nod for the supporting act.

The show, which has already been greenlit for a second season, will air on AXN from February 5.
