Book Scenes That Were Way Too Dark to Be in the Movie

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’

Hulu

One of the most noticeable differences between the book and television adaptations of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is that Gilead is much more diverse. In the book, “the descendants of Ham” are separated from the white community and are believed to have either been killed or enslaved. Showrunner Bruce Miller sought to present a more relatable society by included POC actors and having June’s friend Moira’s open homosexuality be accepted rather than shunned.
