THE HANDMAID'S TALE Renewed For Sixth And Final Season
The award winning drama series The Handmaid’s Tale has been renewed for it’s sixth and final season. Hulu announced that not only will Bruce Miller be finishing the iconic series but he is also in development on The Testaments, a follow up to The Handmaid’s Tale which picks up several years later. As we gear up for season 5, Miller had this to say:
It has been a true honor to tell the story of Margaret Atwood’s groundbreaking novel and chillingly relevant world, and we are thrilled to bring viewers a sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale… …We are grateful to Hulu and MGM for allowing us to tell this story, which unfortunately has remained as relevant as ever throughout its run, and are in awe of our incredible fans for their unwavering support, and without whom we never would have gotten to this point.
Season 5 premiered on September 14 and will follow June facing consequences for killing Commander Waterford, the widowed Serena attempting to raise her profile in Toronto as Gilead’s influence creeps into Canada, Commander Lawrence working with Nick and Aunt Lydia to reform Gilead, and June, Luke, and Moira fighting Gilead from a distance while trying to save and reunite with Hannah.
Starring Elisabeth Moss, Bradley Whitford, Yvonne Strahovski, Max Minghella, O-T Fagbenle, Samira Wiley, Ann Dowd, Madeline Brewer, Amanda Brugel, and Sam Jaeger, this season sounds like everything fans would want.
