Praise be, The Handmaid’s Tale has been renewed!
There was little doubt that the series, based on the Margaret Atwood novel, would return after its current season, but it is nice to have official confirmation as announced at the Television Critics Association conference.
The renewal comes as the third season moves towards its conclusion on August 14th.
The show has so far picked up 11 Emmys, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for Elisabeth Moss, who plays Offred (or is that Ofjoseph?).
Moss is expected to return for the 4th season, as is the rest of the cast, which includes Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovsky, Alexis Bledel, Ann Dowd, Samira Wiley, O-T Fagbenle, and Bradley Whitford.
The events of the first season covered Atwood’s famous book, while the subsequent seasons branched out more into the dystopian world of Gilead.
Season 4 of The Handmaid’s Tale is expected in 2020, and for that we hope we are truly worthy.
