The Handmaid’s Tale is back for season 6: here how to watch in the UK

At the end of the season, June finds herself on a train for Vancouver along with Nicole, Serena, and her baby. At the time, star and producer Elisabeth Moss called it “a pretty positive ending for the show and the season, which we don’t usually do. It’s a cliffhanger, but there’s something quite positive about it.”

What will happen in The Handmaid’s Tale season 6?

According to the official synopsis, “In the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, June’s unyielding spirit and determination pull her back into the fight to take down Gilead. Luke and Moira join the resistance. Serena tries to reform Gilead while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia reckon with what they have wrought, and Nick faces challenging tests of character. This final chapter of June’s journey highlights the importance of hope, courage, solidarity, and resilience in the pursuit of justice and freedom.”
