Hulu is returning to Gilead.
The streamer has handed out an early second-season renewal to critical favorite The Handmaid's Tale.
Season two of the drama, based on the book of the same name by Margaret Atwood, will return for its sophomore run in 2018.
Starring Elisabeth Moss, the series takes place in Gilead, a futuristic world in which fertility issues abound and women's rights are a thing of the past. In order to keep the population up, government officials in a totalitarian society send young and fertile women — the "handmaids" — to affluent families, where they are forced to help couples procreate via sexual servitude.
