The Handmaid’s Tale will wrap up its third season this Sunday, August 18 in Canada. (Don’t Google it – it aired earlier this week in the U.S. and spoilers abound.) As we wait for the sure-to-be heart stopping season finale, here’s a look at all the behind-the-scenes moments documented on Instagram, with a lot more smiles and laughter than you’ve probably come to expect from the show.
