“The Handmaid’s Tale” sequel “The Testaments,” based on a 2019 novel by Margaret Atwood, is expanding the Gilead universe.

“It was very exciting to see this other side of Gilead, with all these privileged people. ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ was about those at the very bottom of the social structure. Here are the women who are at the absolute top. And it still kind of sucks,” said creator Bruce Miller at French fest Series Mania after the show’s world premiere.
