Overview
- The series, which premiered Wednesday, April 8, releases three episodes now with seven more arriving weekly through May 27.
- Created by Bruce Miller from Margaret Atwood’s novel, the show is set roughly four years after The Handmaid’s Tale and compresses the book’s longer timeline.
- The story follows teens Agnes and Daisy inside Aunt Lydia’s preparatory academy, with Ann Dowd returning and Elisabeth Moss increasing June’s presence as an executive producer.
- Early reviews praise the leads and the coming‑of‑age lens, while some critics say the spin‑off feels unnecessary and shows franchise fatigue.
- Hulu streams the series in the U.S., and Disney+ carries it internationally under a 10‑episode season rollout.
