Season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale Will Be Even Darker, As If I Can Handle That Right Now
LatestThe Handmaid’s Tale, a television program based on a novel that gave me night terrors even before the U.S. government started hurtling toward its own version of the Republic of Gilead, will launch its second season in April, and apparently this one will be “darker” than Season 1, as if I need that kind of stress right now. (For those of you who have not seen the show’s first season or read the book, there are spoilers below.)
The show’s producers and star Elisabeth Moss discussed upcoming Season 2 at the Television Critics Association press tour on Sunday morning, dropping a few noteworthy nuggets. Like, that the second season will include a guest appearance by Marisa Tomei (!!!!), and that the plot will focus on Offred/June’s pregnancy, a deviation from the original novel that was revealed at the end of last season.
