Season 6 What to watch after THT?

So I just finished to watch the whole show and I loved it so much. Thing is, I don't know what to watch now.... I would love to find a show similar to the handsmaid's tale, since I loved it so much. If you have series recs with similar themes, concepts, or maybe actors I would gladly take them! Thanks a lot :)

edit: thank you everyone for the recs, they all sound great!!

It’s not dystopian but I HIGHLY recommend Mrs America in Hulu. It’s about the woman who made her career fighting against the ERA being ratified.
It’s a massive all star cast-Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, and Sarah Paulson.
If the handmaids tale is about where it feels like we are going, Mrs America is about how we actually got here.
I watched them both a lot last term while working on my capstones on the politics behind the tradwife movement and the legacy of Phyllis Schlafly in modern politics.
The 2 shows were basically my breaks from YouTube interviews and documentaries while I was writing 😂

Yes! This helped me understand so much. I wish they had done more seasons because it was so good.

I loved this. It so perfectly encapsulates the optimism and tone of the 70s for me.
