Red-robed handmaids from the hit series The Handmaid’s Tale have been spotted walking in Los Angeles, WeHo, and Beverly Hills ahead of the series’ season finale Wednesday. It’s all part of an Emmys “for your consideration” campaign by Hulu, and it’s been weirding everyone the eff out.

“Looks like some handmaids are having lunch at the Beverly Wilshire,” real estate agent Heather T. Roy wrote in a caption on a video of a few handmaids walking past the awnings of the famous hotel (and movie location).
Hulu’s handmaids have appeared elsewhere previously, including in April at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, where author Margaret Atwood spoke. According to the Hollywood Reporter, some of the handmaids — in total this time around there were 38, split into half a dozen groups — were asked to leave the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Hollywood Forever Cemetery because those facilities were not affiliated with the streaming network or the show.
“It was fun to creep people out for the #HULUFYC,” actress Gabriela Ortega said on Instagram. She definitely wasn’t the only one having fun.
