So this definitely falls into the category of sequels no one asked for, but I think it could work.
First The Handmaid’s Tale, while uneven at times, started strong, ended solid and had lots of highlights along the way. The showrunner of The Handmaid’s Tale actually left running to focus on the follow up, which is a good choice. The new series is based on the book by the original author. It stars Ann Dowd’s Aunt Lydia, who I’ve always found to be the most interesting character in the series. The main character is played by Chase Infiniti, who just had a standout performance in “One Battle After Another”.
And we’re getting a three episode premiere, so something to really sink into.
