Jay Hunt, Channel 4’s Chief Creative Officer said: “The Handmaid’s Tale is a chilling and frighteningly topical exploration of a world where women are subjugated.
The Handmaid’s Tale will finally air in the UK.
The book sets itself in the fictional Republic of Gilead, an authoritarian theocracy which comes to power in the US.
I’m delighted that Channel 4 viewers will get to see this critically-acclaimed take on a classic novel.”
