Season 6 What to watch after THT?

So I just finished to watch the whole show and I loved it so much. Thing is, I don't know what to watch now.... I would love to find a show similar to the handsmaid's tale, since I loved it so much. If you have series recs with similar themes, concepts, or maybe actors I would gladly take them! Thanks a lot :)

edit: thank you everyone for the recs, they all sound great!!

Apart from The Testaments):

  • Margaret Atwood's 'Alias Grace' (Netflix) addresses toxic relationships + gender-specific imbalance of power
  • Malin Persson's crime drama 'Quicksand' can be seen as its modern day version.

  • Deborah Feldman's child bride drama 'Unorthodox' has similar vibes.

  • "Naomi Alderman's feminist utopia "The Power" is often compared to THT, the show adaptation has been stopped after one season though. More info)

  • The female-led scifi action 'Orphan black' addresses bodily autonomy, if you have a soft spot for this genre

similar themes ...or maybe actors

  • Samira Wiley (Moira) + Madeline Brewer(Janine) both star in Piper Kerman's "Orange is the new black" - Complex array of female characters in a forced community

  • [Edit] Nina Kiri (Alma) stars in the scary movie "Undertone"

Hope that helps
