Hulu’s award-winning, hit drama series, The Handmaid’s Tale has been renewed for a sixth and final season ahead of its season five premiere.
In addition to season six of The Handmaid’s Tale, Bruce Miller (creator, showrunner and executive producer) is actively developing “The Testaments,” a follow-up to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which picks up years later.
“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,” said Bruce Miller, creator, showrunner and executive producer.
“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.”
In the fifth season, June faces consequences for killing Commander Waterford while struggling to redefine her identity and purpose. The widowed Serena attempts to raise her profile in Toronto as Gilead’s influence creeps into Canada. Commander Lawrence works with Nick and Aunt Lydia as he tries to reform Gilead and rise in power. June, Luke and Moira fight Gilead from a distance as they continue their mission to save and reunite with Hannah.
The fifth season premieres with two episodes on Wednesday, September 14th on Hulu.
