The company opted to celebrate surpassing 20 million U.S. subscribers and a 60% uptick in total engagement with an official Season 3 renewal for the Emmy-winning drama.
Hulu claims The Handmaid’s Tale “doubled its audience versus season one,” and also adds that author Margaret Atwood will serve as co-executive producer for Season 3.
Hulu made the announcement both on the day The Handmaid’s Tale premieres Season 2’s third installment, as well as that of the streaming service’s NewFront presentation at Madison Square Garden.
