There's a lot of anticipation and expectation for the second season of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, which swept awards for its stunning debut run.

A lot of the season will centre around motherhood, and there'll be the birth of Offred's child - which then becomes Serena Joy's child, of course - and most intriguingly the prospect of exploring the Colonies outside Gilead.

These are mentioned in the book, but never really visited. With its second season the show is going well beyond Margaret Atwood's source material and telling its own story, and seeing Offred among the Colonies is going to be the biggest part of that, as well as one that expands the scope of the show considerably and should mark a great leap into the unknown.
