The Handmaids Tale - Original Television Soundtrack - Lakeshore Records released The Handmaid's Tale - Original HULU Series Soundtrack digitally on May 5, 2017.

The Handmaid's Tale was created, written and executive produced by Bruce Miller and executive produced by Warren Littlefield, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears and Ilene Chaiken. The Handmaid's Tale is produced by MGM Television and internationally distributed by MGM. Adam Taylor... "We knew from the start that we wanted to use classical instruments, as well as synths and atonal elements. One idea for the score was to reiterate sounds and instruments through processes that would create a loss in fidelity, like a poor quality photocopy... much like how life in Gilead was a distorted replica of normal life." He experimented with an old tape echo to achieve this sound. "I went as far as tracking an instrument, then changing the speed of the tape to 'fake' melodic changes. It took some time to get right, but was worth it in the end - and ended up being crucial to making, what was essentially a two-note theme, sound emotive and interesting."
