If you haven’t yet caught Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, starring the brilliant Elisabeth Moss, you’ve missed out on one of the finest TV dramas of 2017.
Now would be a good time to catch up with this harrowing story, as Hulu have dropped the trailer for the second season and announced an airdate of April 25th.
This timely series takes place in a brutal, dystopian future of gender politics and the new season steps into new territory as it expands the storyline past Atwood’s novel. Thankfully, the author is very much involved and if season two is even half as good as the original then the TV landscape for 2018 will be shaping up very nicely.
Meanwhile, here’s the trailer to whet your appetite…
Head and shoulders above a crowded field of fine TV drama in 2017, I also loved a number of French and German dramas, another highlight being Babylon Berlin which had the musical score of 2017. I can’t wait for season two of the Handmaid’s Tale.
