Channel 4 Picks Up UK Rights To ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 3

Channel 4 has picked up the UK rights to the third season of The Handmaid’s Tale, continuing as the drama’s UK home after airing its first two seasons.

Based on Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, the series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian theocracy that has overthrown the United States government and forced the few remaining fertile women into child bearing servitude.

Elisabeth Moss stars as June, alongside Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovski, Ann Dowd and Samira Wiley.

Produced by Hulu in the United States, the third season is expected to reach UK screens later in 2019, following its American debut.
