Haven’t seen S1 yet - does it cover the whole book? If so, have they just written a new storyline for S2? Or have they split the book across multiple seasons? Just wondering what to expect

Series 1 is based on the whole novel. Series 2 will be going into uncharted waters.

Season 1 is while book. Season 2 is completely new but I believe Margaret Atwood was involved.

S1 covers the book. S2 is new territory- can't wait!

I say 'based on' because it is an adaptation, rather than being 100% true to the book. It is true to the spirit of the book though, and the author was involved as they were making it (and even has a small part).

I really want to rewatch season 1 before season 2 begins bit cant find it anywhere (I have now tv, netflix and Amazon so refuse to pay any more) Excited for Sunday!

Thanks everyone - I love the book so I’m not sure how I feel about that, and how they could continue it. I will definitely get round to it soon though.
