Max Minghella and Ann Dowd have landed roles on Hulu’s Handmaid’s Tale series. The story for this drama adaptation comes from Margaret Atwood’s 1985 dystopian novel.
According to Vulture, the company announced earlier this year that Elizabeth Moss will star as the handmaid Offred. This ten-part series will be posted online in 2017.
Here’s more from Deadline: “Minghella will play Nick, a Guardian in Gilead, the totalitarian theocracy that has taken over America. Living in Commander Waterford’s house, working as his driver, he makes a connection with Offred (Moss), although she’s unsure whether he’s an Eye, working for the secret police. Dowd is Aunt Lydia, head of the Red Center, where she indoctrinates handmaids into the Gilead system. She trains them, by any means necessary, for their role as ritualized sexual servants in the homes of ‘Commanders,’ the elite of Gilead.” (via Yahoo! TV)13
