The Handmaid's Tale is Hulu's flagship original series, and it might be getting even bigger, thanks to The Testaments, Margaret Atwood's upcoming sequel to the original novel that inspired the series. Hulu is reportedly looking to develop The Testaments into a TV series with MGM Television, according to Deadline.

Most plot details about The Testaments (which will be published September 10th) are still under wraps, but we do know that the novel is set 15 years after the ending of the first book, and is narrated by three female characters. But presumably wherever Atwood takes the story, Hulu and MGM are interested in putting it on TV.

Hulu has unveiled a new look at the upcoming third season of its dystopian series The Handmaid's Tale, showing off the birth of a resistance movement.

This new trailer opens with Offred (Elizabeth Moss) highlighting some of the changes that have come to the world. She opted not to leave Gilead during the show's second season, and it seems she's now hard at work formulating a revolution against her oppressors and hunting for allies to help her.

We got our first look at season 3 back in February during the Super Bowl when Hulu parodied President Ronald Reagan's iconic 1984 Morning in America commercial, juxtaposing the utopian vision present …

Hulu announced this morning that it is renewing its dystopian television show The Handmaid's Tale for a third season.

The show is based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel by the same name, which depicts a totalitarian theocracy called the Republic of Gilead, in which women are stripped of their rights and turned into sexual slaves called Handmaids. The show's first season largely followed the events of the novel, but the second season has started introducing new storylines and locations not seen in the original text.

The show just kicked off its second season last week, and season 3 will likely air sometime in 2019. Its first season was parti …

Hulu's original series The Handmaid's Tale is back for season 2, looking bloodier and more harrowing than ever. The series, based on Margaret Atwood's freshly relevant 1985 novel, is set in a near-future dystopian country named Gilead, where widespread infertility has changed the political and social landscape. Fertile women are a commodity - dubbed "Handmaids," and passed out like property to powerful families to be ritualistically raped and used as surrogate mothers. The entire society of Gilead seems to be built around propaganda and social control. Like so much science fiction, it's meant to explore the possible end results of present de …

The Handmaid's Tale is a difficult show to appreciate right now. After following the plot of Margaret Atwood's 1985 book in its first season, its second season piles on a series of additional horrors, all set in the future nation of Gilead - a religious theocracy that kills and tortures women who refuse to submit to male ownership. As my colleague Laura Hudson writes, "its portents are so terrifyingly familiar that they have become excruciating to watch."

The Handmaid's Tale's premise - that you can't permanently stamp out sexism, just send it more or less into remission - is perpetually timely, as is Gilead's basic disregard for women's b …
