Author Margaret Atwood announced Wednesday that she is writing a sequel to her highly-acclaimed book The Handmaid's Tale.

Atwood said the forthcoming book, titled The Testaments will be published in September 2019.



Atwood said the sequel will be set 15 years after the final scene in The Handmaid's Tale featuring the book's protagonist, known as Offred.

The Testaments will be narrated by three female characters, Atwood revealed.

One thing I am grateful for, though, is the fact that the collaboration between Atwood and Hulu has really brought this dystopian story/cautionary tale to a lot of people who have never read the book.
