Canadian author Margaret Atwood is penning a sequel to one of her best-known books, The Handmaid's Tale. "The Testaments is set 15 years after Offred's final scene and is narrated by three female characters," Atwood revealed via Twitter. Published in 1985, The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian, near-future tale about a totalitarian state called Gilead that has overthrown the U.S. Elisabeth Moss appears as Offred in a scene from Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, which has helped bring a new audience to Atwood's dystopian classic. The Testaments has been inspired by "everything you've ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings," Atwood said.
