The sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale is coming soon, and Hulu has released the trailer for Season 6. Together, they must now return to Gilead, the dangerous land they once fled — and the stakes have never been higher for June (Elisabeth Moss) and Luke (O-T Fagbenle). After years of struggle and separation, the couple is prepared for one final battle — and it’s going to be brutal.
The Handmaid’s Tale, adapted from a novel by Margaret Atwood, has captivated viewers since its debut, in 2017. A painful journey has unfolded for June, who refuses to give up, no matter what, over five seasons and 15 Emmy Awards. But the last chapter will begin on April 8, with fans facing a war, heartbreak, and a rebellion.
What’s Happening in Season 6?
The trailer begins with June and Luke making a daring choice — going back to Gilead. This decision informs the course for the whole season, and this will no longer be a story of mere survival — it’s a story of resistance.
We also catch a glimpse of a baby blue-gowned Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) going down the aisle of a church in the trailer. Her groom is none other than a not-at-all-mysterious new character, played by Josh Charles. This unexpected matrimony alludes to a larger scheme or a twist surrounding Serena, a woman who’s always played her own game.
There’s more: Janine (Madeline Brewer) appears in a new, dark role, apparently at Jezebel’s, the secret brothel from previous seasons. And Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) seems truly rattled, aware that it is the embattled June who is once again caught in the middle of the mayhem.
The Rise of the Artificial Intelligence Revolution
The trailer makes it clear that the simmering insurrection has become a full-blown war. The Handmaids are armed and ready to fight for their freedom, and there’s no turning back. They are determined to bring down the cruel Gilead system and find their daughter, Hannah.
But it won’t be an easy road ahead with powerful enemies like Commander Lawrence, Aunt Lydia, and Serena Joy. It’s not only a physical fight — it’s emotional as well. Like H, June is torn between two men: Luke and Nick (Max Minghella), who have both played a role in her journey.
Final Thoughts
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 promises a strong, emotional ending to one of the most powerful shows in recent years. With war, tough choices, and deep emotions, this season looks like it will give fans the closure they’ve been waiting for.
