So far , what we ’ve seen of The Handmaid ’s Tale season two has encompassedgrim photosthat included a bloodied June / Offred ( Elisabeth Moss ) , as well asyesterday ’s eery preview . But according to showrunner Bruce Miller , the tone of time of year two wo n’t be drastically different from what work so well in season one .
grant , time of year one was brimming with dark , terrifying moments — so no doubt time of year two will still have plenty of those . But though the potential is there , and though the story will expand beyond Margaret Atwood ’s source novel , The Handmaid ’s Tale is n’t going to go full - on horror tale . As Millerassured the LA Times in a late interview :
I do n’t think it ’s darker than the first time of year . I cerebrate the first season had very difficult thing , and very promising things , and I suppose this time of year is exactly the same way . There descend some surprising moments of actual Bob Hope and triumph , and strength , that amount from surprising place . I would say that we ’re expanding our world into rich part of Margaret Atwood ’s world , the existence that she already create . I sense like it still is , “ The Handmaid ’s Tale ” is still Atwood ’s volume and Atwood ’s character and Atwood ’s world . And that Atwoodness is what we ’re always trying to get to . She has a great common sense of humor , and she ’s so bright and incisive , and spare in the way that she writes . All of those form of things we essay to bring to toy .
Though of trend he could n’t say too much about game details , Miller drop a few ( very , very few ) wind about season two , including that Marisa Tomei will play a character dwelling in the mystic “ Colonies ” outside of Gilead . He also talked about what it ’s like make a show based on an important feminist piece of work in a time when Hollywood is finally examining its own awful defect when it comes to the handling of women in the industry .
