Hulu has announced the premiere dates for the second season of the Emmy-winning drama series The Handmaid’s Tale, the third season of The Path, new limited series The Looming Tower, and the new drama series Hard Sun.
The thirteen-episode second season of The Handmaid’s Tale will premiere on April 2018 (no exact date has been announced yet). The series returns with a second season shaped by Offred’s pregnancy and her ongoing fight to free her future child from the dystopian horrors of Gilead. “Gilead is within you” is a favorite saying of Aunt Lydia. In season two, Offred and all our characters will fight against — or succumb to — this dark truth. As previously reported, Clea DuVall will recur this season as Emily’s wife.
The third season of The Path will premiere on Wednesday, January 17. A miracle by Eddie Lane went viral, and Meyerism has grown exponentially across the world. As the new Guardian of the Light, Eddie is forced to face the question of whether he can grow the movement without becoming a cult leader. Cal is haunted by dark demons from the past and must come face to face with them in order to defeat them. Sarah questions her faith, and in looking outside the movement for answers, she may discover one of Meyerism’s deepest secrets, and the one person who could put an end to it all. Freida Pinto joins the season for a key series regular role.
The new limited series The Looming Tower will premiere on Wednesday, February 28. Based on the Pulitzer-Prize winning book, the series traces the rising threat of Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda in the late 1990s and how the rivalry between the FBI and CIA during that time may have inadvertently set the path for the tragedy of 9/11. It follows members of the I-49 Squad in New York and Alec Station in Washington, D.C., the counter-terrorism divisions of the FBI and CIA, respectively, as they travel the world fighting for ownership of information while seemingly working toward the same goal — trying to prevent an imminent attack on U.S. soil. Jeff Daniels, Bill Camp, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Peter Sarsgaard co-star in the series.
The six-episode new drama series Hard Sun will premiere on Wednesday, March 7. Jim Sturgess and Agyness Deyn play detectives Robert Hicks and Elaine Renko, partners and enemies, who seek to enforce the law and protect their loved ones in a world that every day slips closer to a world-ending natural disaster. Hicks is a family man and a great, committed officer. He’s also profoundly corrupt. Renko is a difficult and damaged, but utterly incorruptible officer. Thus, the two cops stand on different ends of the social and moral spectrum and also seriously distrust one other — and for good reason. But they must somehow learn to work together if they’re going to survive until the end of the world.
