Hulu and MGM plan to adapt 'The Handmaid's Tale' sequel

Hulu

Margaret Atwood's sequel to The Handmaid's Tale is set to come out on Sept 10th. And Hulu and MGM already plan to adapt The Testaments for the screen. The original dystopian novel is about a society that obliterates the rights of women, and it was published 34 years ago. Since it came out, a film version starring Natasha Richardson was released by Cinecom Pictures in 1990. And in 2017, Hulu adapted it into an Emmy award-winning show with Elizabeth Moss as the protagonist Offred. The show is set to come back for a fourth season.

Now, MGM and Hulu are in discussions with The Handmaid's Tale showrunner Bruce Miller "about how the upcoming novel can become an important extension" to the television series. But it isn't clear whether The Testaments will become a standalone film, a show, or be part of the current series. The novel will take place 15 years after the events in The Handmaid's Tale.
