Bruce Miller leads 'Handmaid's Tale' into new territory in Season 2
The cliffhanger that closes out Margaret Atwood's 1985 feminist dystopia novel, "The Handmaid's Tale," has mystified Bruce Miller, the showrunner behind Hulu's television adaption, ever since he read the book in college not long after the book's release.
Set in Gilead, a near-future America in which theocratic extremists have taken control, Atwood's main narrative concludes as June/Offred, the story's rebellious handmaid heroine, is whisked away in a van by soldiers for what appears to be her role in the resistance.
