Testaments Book

On Twitter this morning, Margaret Atwood revealed that she's writing a sequel to her 1985 dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale, inspired in part by "the world we've been living in". According to the pre-order page on Amazon, The Testaments takes place 15 years after the events of the first book and is narrated by three women from Gilead. We'll have to wait a bit though...the book is due out in early September 2019.

In the meantime, season 3 of the the TV series has started production and will likely debut next spring.
