The article explores the connection between Margaret Atwood's sequel, The Testaments, and the TV adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale. It argues that the two narratives intersect despite showrunner Bruce Miller's claims that they represent different worlds. With characters overlapping and significant story arcs in play, the author feels it is disingenuous to disregard The Testaments' influence on the show's direction. As the series approaches its finale, the author emphasizes that the fates of characters remain uncertain, highlighting the need for viewers to consider the entire narrative landscape.
"Bruce Miller's assertion that 'some characters overlap, but it’s about a different world' is misleading, especially with the casting of characters across both series."
"The connection between The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments should influence viewers’ understanding, despite Miller's attempts to create a divide between the narratives."
