Super Bowl viewers are about to get a very timely glimpse at life in a dystopia.

Hulu on Friday released its Super Bowl spot for its upcoming series The Handmaid's Tale, based on Margaret Atwood's novel of the same name.

The 10-episode series, which debuts on Hulu on April 26, follows people in a dystopia called Gilead — a totalitarian society, once part of the U.S., rooted in twisted religious fundamentalism. A place where a class of women are subjugated and used only for reproduction.
