The Hulu series won the award at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place at the Microsoft Theater on September 17, 2017.
"The Handmaid's Tale" was nominated alongside "Better Call Saul," "House of Cards," "Stranger Things," "The Crown," "This is Us" and "Westworld."
Accepting the award, showrunner Bruce Miller said the award “really belongs to three women: Reed Morano, who directed the pilot episode of The Handmaid’s Tale. To Margaret Atwood, who scared the living crap out of my when I was in college. And to Lizzie Moss, who leaves me speechless.”
