Fans of the books will know the baby will go on to be a massive part of Gilead relations in the future.
Margaret Atwood’s latest instalment is set 15 years after the events of last season and tells the story from the perspective of Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) as well as both June’s daughters Hannah Bankole (Jordana Blake) and Nichole who are both grown up at this point.
Part way through the novel it is revealed that the speaker who goes by Daisy, is actually Nichole who grew up under a different name.
The novel sees her raised in another family, unaware she is actually the infant she has grown-up learning about in her school history lessons as a political turning point between the superpowers.

In the book Nichole is raised in Toronto by adoptive parents Neil and Melanie who own a clothing shop before she realises her true identity and becomes part of the Mayday project to take down Gilead.
