“It’s morning again in America,” ad man Hal Riney once famously narrated over footage of steadfast fathers headed to work, nuclear families getting along and beautiful young couples getting married. This “Prouder, Better, Stronger” ad campaign ran in 1984 as part of Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign. Those same words were repeated again during Sunday night’s Super Bowl LIII, signaling a new dawn for Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The adaptation’s season three teaser makes use of the Reagan-era formula to signal—and then subvert—comfortable, nationalist rhetoric at a new dawn of opportunity.
