Blessed be the fruit that is a brand new season of The Handmaid’s Tale. Based on the 1985 Margaret Atwood novel of the same name, this dystopian Hulu Original series follows June Osborne, a woman trapped in a totalitarian society in the aftermath of America’s second civil war. The series first premiered back in 2017, and after nearly a decade (and five seasons), it’s time for June’s story to come to an end. Though fans shouldn’t mourn too much, because they’ll be able to return to Gilead (for better or worse) in the new Handmaid’s Tale spinoff series, The Testaments, which starts production this month.
After almost three years since the Season 5 finale, the first three episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 are available on Hulu as of today. New episodes will drop weekly on Tuesdays at 12 a.m. ET through May 27. Here’s what you need to know about how to watch The Handmaid’s Tale.
