In what year did The Handmaid's Tale TV series win the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series?

The story behind the answer

The Handmaid's Tale TV series won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Drama in 2018.

The award was presented at the 75th Golden Globe Awards on January 7, 2018, honoring television released during 2017. The Hulu series competed against major dramas including The Crown, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and This Is Us.

The win helped establish The Handmaid's Tale as one of television's defining dramas soon after its April 2017 premiere. The series also collected a second Golden Globe that night for Elisabeth Moss, who won Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama for playing June Osborne, also known as Offred.

A common mix-up is calling this the 2017 Golden Globe because the awards recognized 2017 television. However, the ceremony and award listing are dated 2018, making 2018 the standard quiz answer. The series also won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series at the 2017 Emmy Awards, a separate honor held several months earlier.
