The events of the third series, which is currently airing in the US and on Channel 4 in the UK, has now bypassed the events of the original novel.
Atwood was recently longlisted for the Booker Prize, for her long-awaited follow-up novel to the 1985 work.

The new book will be narrated by three female characters, and be unconnected to the events of the TV series that has extended Offred’s storyline.
