AMC\u2019s fantasy drama Into the Badlands <\/em>begins its third season Sunday night. Set it a post-apocalyptic world after the fall of civilization, the show fallows the battles and quests of the remaining civilization in the Badlands. One warrior is a young woman<\/a> named Tilda, who fights under the Baron known as \u201cThe Widow.\u201d Last season saw Tilda begin a romance with the \u201cDoll,\u201d Odessa. Last season ended with Odessa rescuing Tilda and the two running away together, but both are set to appear in the third season. In the premiere, Sunny returns to the Badlands, seeking a cure for his son Henry; The Widow and Chua wage a bloody civil war; a new threat emerges. Into the Badlands: Sunday, 10pm on AMC. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Season two of Emmy Award-winning and GLAAD Media Award-nominated drama series The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em> premieres on Hulu this Tuesday. The show continues to paint the picture of the Dystopian Gilead, where women<\/a> are subjugated and treated as sub-human. Among the core characters are out actress Samira Wiley\u2019s Moira, a lesbian<\/a> who managed to escape Gilead last season; Emily, a handmaid who was ominously escorted away in the first season; and a new introduction of Sylvia (played by out actress Clea DuVall), who will play Emily\u2019s wife in flashbacks. Hopefully these queer women<\/a> will be placed front and center for this new season. The Handmaid\u2019s Tale: Wednesday on Hulu.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
