The end is here. The Handmaid’s Tale, the critically acclaimed and award-winning Hulu series, returns for its sixth and final season—with a powerful three-episode premiere now streaming. Led by Elisabeth Moss, the final chapter promises an explosive showdown as June Osborn and her allies rise up against the brutal regime of Gilead.
Fans of The Handmaid’s Tale are finally getting the answers they’ve waited for. Hulu just dropped the first three episodes of the dystopian drama’s sixth and final season, and the stakes have never been higher.
In this last chapter, Elisabeth Moss returns as June Osborn, once again stepping into her fearless role as a resistance leader determined to take down Gilead—the oppressive regime that once enslaved her as a Handmaid. According to Hulu’s official synopsis, June’s journey will be more dangerous and emotionally charged than ever before, as she leads a rebellion from the outside.
Joining her in the fight are longtime allies and loved ones: Samira Wiley as Moira and O-T Fagbenle as Luke. Meanwhile, Gilead’s power players are grappling with their own reckoning. Yvonne Strahovski’s Serena Joy Waterford tries to reform the very regime she once upheld. Bradley Whitford returns as Commander Lawrence, facing the crumbling world he helped architect, while Ann Dowd‘s Aunt Lydia confronts the consequences of her brutal past.
Max Minghella reprises his role as Nick Blaine—June’s former lover and the father of her child—who is caught in the crossfire of loyalty and survival.
Also returning this season are Madeline Brewer (Janine), Amanda Brugel (Rita), Sam Jaeger (Mark Tuello), Ever Carradine (Naomi Putnam), and Josh Charles (Commander Wharton), rounding out the series’ powerhouse ensemble.
Fans can stream the first three episodes now on Hulu, with new episodes dropping every Tuesday through May 27. Seasons 1 through 5 are also available to stream, for those looking to relive every harrowing, heroic, and haunting moment.
Whether you’re in it for justice, vengeance, or redemption—The Handmaid’s Tale is making sure this final chapter leaves nothing behind.
