This news comes to us after Hulu’s adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale has already run for two seasons, and is now off book, with a third season in the works.

The novel will be published worldwide by Penguin Random House in September 2019, and is already up for pre-orders here. Here is her official announcement on Twitter with a video teaser:
