Handmaid's Tale is coming back...!

[Alwaysinmyheart]

Just saw this so thought I'd give pp a quick heads up, really intrigued to see how they will develop the story. There's a few teasing hints in this article! It's on Hulu in April, hopefully C4 will be showing it too. Really enjoyed the threads about it last time, such great discussions and insights ffom everyone, made watching it a much deeper experience for me😀

Yes! Great to see it is coming back in April (Channel 4 take note). I look at what is happening to women in real life and think Gilead might be just around the corner.

And here's a trailer for it, looks v dark!

Great, thanks for the heads up! I feared it would be a longer wait before the second series.

Can't wait for this! Thanks for the link 👍

Blessed be the fruit .

Saw this earlier. Super exciting. Can't wait for it to start here.

May the Lord open.

Dammit. That was meant to follow on!

I've just watched the trailer... did anyone else catch the two hands touching? At first I thought it might imply a relationship between Moira and Luke, but on a second watch it looks like it could be in the colonies. Relationship between Emily (Ofglen) and Janine, maybe??

I’ve read the book many times at school and uni and I liked the 1990 film but haven’t watched this at all. How true to the story is it? If it goes wildly off course then it’ll just drive me crazy so safer not to bother!

The first series was brilliant! Beautifully filmed and well acted. There were a few things that weren’t in the book but I’d say it stayed true to the message. Well worth a watch!

The first series ended where the original book ended so this new series will be completely new. Could be great could be awful depending on the new material. Has Margaret Atwood written the script for this?

I wish we knew when it's coming to channel 4!

Ooh fab! I recorded the series and watched it in one fell swoop while recovering from surgery.

Blessed be the fruit.

I thought it would be ages yet.

Excellent, thanks. It’s on my Netflix schedule for right after I finish bingeing S4 of Grace and Frankie.

Not Netflix, whatever it’s on.
