Set 15 years after The Handmaid’s Tale, a new generation of young women in Gilead grapples with the bleak future that awaits them.

Matt Roush says...

The handmaids remain almost entirely off-camera in this stark sequel to the Emmy-winning The Handmaid’s Tale, which returns to author Margaret Atwood‘s dystopian world of Gilead, where America has become a repressive patriarchy and young women are denied basic rights and freedoms. The focus in this series turns to the pampered, sheltered daughters of the all-powerful Commanders, attending a finishing school led by the formidable Aunt Lydia (the terrific Ann Dowd) that grooms the young ladies to become submissive wives and, if lucky, mothers. Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another) stars as Agnes, living in a seemingly blissful ignorance of who her real parents are. (Fans of the series will understand instantly.) Her life changes forever when Agnes is assigned to mentor the school’s latest recruit from sinful Canada, Daisy (Lucy Halliday), who’s not nearly as naïve as she appears. The series launches with three episodes. (See the full review.)
