Very excited about this:

Love Elisabeth Moss and Samira Wiley. Hope they do it justice, this couldn't be more timely.

Oh yes! When is this on? Can't click the link on my shitphone.

[GrabtharsHammer]

Oh don't worry, turns out I can. What an amazing cast! I can't wait. And if Atwood is involved I have high hopes.

They are also doing Alias Grace, filming started in August, not sure when it'll air.

[Iloveswears]

Not sure when it will be on. Alias grace is my 2nd favourite atwood book, so that's good news.

[VictoriaMcdade]

Lordy, that looks good!

[JustHereForThePooStories]

Looks amazing but I don't think it's going to be on Netflix- just Hulu which is only available in the US.

Unless I read the article wrong?

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

There was a truly terrible film (90s?) so would be great to see a good adaptation. Doesn't look like it will be on Netflix though

[Cagliostro]

Oh wow. Yes I agree the original film was rubbish :(

I don't have Netflix

[GrabtharsHammer]

I think Hulu is affiliated with Netflix in some way, I'm sure lots of their 'original' stuff was originally on Hulu. Could be wrong though.

[Cagliostro]

Or Hulu.

The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace are my favourite Atwood novels so I'm really excited to hear this. I hope they do them justice.

I loved Alias Grace, such a wonderful read, very much me as it talks about immigration after the famine in Ireland, I highly recommend it. As for Handmaiden's Tale, it is the best dystopian novel ever written.

Super excited to see! My favourite Atwood's as well...along with Cats Eye.

I saw her speak last year and she was fantastic!
