The Handmaid’s Tale boss reveals June’s child smuggling ‘starts a war’ in season four
THE Handmaid's Tale boss has reveal how June's child smuggling could 'start a war' in season four.
The hit Hulu series has confirmed its fourth season will air next year after being delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s 86 children, but at a time where the birth rate is so much smaller, it might as well be 86,000 children being being taken from a country.”
He continued: “And I think that has been very juicy, the international elements of the show.
"In some ways you forget, or I forget, because the show is so personal and so much about June, that it’s a show about refugees, and it’s a show about international relations.
"Everybody who’s in Canada on our show is a refugee. That’s what they’re living, the refugee life.”
As well as confirming season four's return in 2021, it was announced last week that the show had also been recommissioned for a fifth season.
Bruce said: "So I know where I am in the story, and I do feel like we’re kind of reaching kind of a pivot point, but whether that’s the end or not, I don’t know.
“It just feels like it’s a good time to reassess what you were thinking, just because the story world has opened up because the real world has changed so much.”
