Deadline have revealed that Bradley Whitford, who previously appeared on The Handmaids Tale in season 2 on a recurring basis as Commander Lawrence, has closed a one year deal to return to the show as a series regular for the 3rd season.



Fans will know Commander Lawrence is an architect of Gilead, an economist pulled out of academic obscurity to create a system that has succeeded far beyond his wildest imaginings, and his worst nightmares. His combative relationship with June and tenuous allegiance to the regime spur a chain of events felt throughout Gilead.
