The Handmaid’s Tale is returning for its sixth season on Hulu this year, and its next chapter will also be its last. Hulu teased the beginning of the end of June’s story with a brand-new trailer, which sees her leading a resistance against Gilead and fighting for a better future.
According to Hulu’s official logline, the final chapter of June’s journey will highlight the importance of hope, courage, solidarity, and resilience in the pursuit of justice and freedom.
“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 Gilean while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia reckon with what they wrought, and Nick faces challenging tests of character,” reads the official logline.
In addition to Elisabeth Moss in the lead role, the Season 6 cast will also include Yvonne Strahovski, O-T Fagbenle, Max Minghella, Bradley Whitford, Ann Dowd, Samira Wiley, Madeline Brewer, Amanda Brugel, Sam Jaeger, Ever Carradine, and Josh Charles.
The adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s seminal novel The Handmaid’s Tale is set in a dystopian future, where women are forced to live under a theocratic dictatorship that stripped them of all fundamental rights. It won multiple awards over the years, including a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding drama series for its first season.
Season 6 will premiere on Hulu later this year, with 10 brand-new episodes.
