Hulu has adapted Margaret Atwood's dystopian bestseller The Handmaid's Tale [1] into a new series, and we're still getting used to seeing the characters we've come to know from the books embodied onscreen. Elisabeth Moss [2] is leading the cast, which also includes Alexis Bledel and Joseph Fiennes — but they're not the only familiar faces. Take a look at the rest of the cast, and get a look at everything we know about the show [3]!
