It is a journey that started with Margaret Atwood’s 1985 book and has become one of the most influential and thought-provoking television experiences of the last decade. The Handmaid’s Tale is set to return for its sixth and final season, but when will we finally see the end of June’s story? We have news.
Filming has wrapped on The Handmaid's Tale season 6, along with word of when we'll start to see it: Tuesday, April 8 on Hulu. The first episode will be directed by none other than series star Elizabeth Moss.
The final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, like most of Hollywood, was severely disrupted by the actor and writer’s strikes of 2023. Filming was meant to begin in August of that year, but that obviously didn’t happen as planned.
Not only does The Handmaid's Tale season 6 need to give a satisfactory ending to June’s epic story of rebellion, but it also needs to help set up the upcoming spin-off series, The Testaments. That is a tall order for a single season of television but The Handmaid’s Tale has proven capable of delivering big stories balanced with intimate, emotional moments since its first season debuted in 2017. Star Elisabeth Moss was nominated for an Emmy for her performance in season five, so we're exicted to see how she tops that when the show finally makes its return.
Join us looking forward to The Handmaid's Tale season 6 beginning April 8.
