I’ve been watching this weeks filming, here’s what I’ve seen.

On Monday, they were filming in the gallows. They had a bunch of handmaids that they summon up to the nooses. Josh Charles does a speech on the gallows. They bring out aunt Lydia who is to be hung, she does a speech and it sounds like she screams the phrase “godless men”. They then bring June out who also does a speech about freedom. She screams “don’t let the bastards grind you down” they put everyone in nooses including Lydia. Janine and Moira are also in nooses and handmaids attire. Junes noose is in the middle. They then had a stunt woman who they string up maybe 10ft and drop her with her arms flailing (so she isn’t dead). Luke then runs up to her. On Tuesday they did a close up of Elizabeth’s face while being hung. Today (Wednesday) they filmed a scene with econo people/marthas/a few handmaids were running around with a gilead truck on fire. Another scene included Luke and Rita dressed as econo people, Luke throws a grenade (this is probably supposed to happen while the handmaids are being hung). There’s then probably going to be an explosion and gun shots. Another scene included Luke and a few others attacking a guardian and taking his big gun. It’s been absolutely amazing to see this all happen. To any fans not from around Cambridge this is filmed right by the wall as well which has been “graffitied” with phrases such as “my name is Rita”. I’m assuming that will be a scene as well. You will also see the same bridge as in season one where June and Moira are protesting in a flashback before Gilead, the bridge has large cement arches. It’s appeared a few other times I think but that’s the one I remember most. I will update this post if I see/hear anything else!!
