Editor’s note: This post contains spoilers about Season 6 of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
As the final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” reaches its midpoint with Episode 5 dropping next week, tensions are on the rise as June (Elisabeth Moss), husband Luke (O-T Fagbenle), and best friend Moira (Samira Wiley) clash over plans to take down Gilead.
After escaping from no man’s land where they got trapped, Luke and Moira are all pumped to destroy Gilead. However, June is critical of their plans, and this causes a huge blowout between them. However, June and Luke eventually make up and agree to fight together as a family. Back in New Bethlehem, Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) is sworn in as a High Commander as Rita (Amanda Brugel), a former Martha, arrives back in town. Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), meanwhile, shares a moment after an evening of light flirting with Commander Wharton (Josh Charles), Rose’s father.
According to Hulu, June will fight to take down Gilead with Luke and Moira joining the resistance in the final season of the Emmy-winning drama series. Serena, meanwhile, “tries to reform Gilead while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) reckon with what they have wrought, and Nick (Max Minghella) 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,” the season’s synopsis says.
Adapted from Canadian author Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name, “The Handmaid’s Tale” is about “the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States,” according to the series synopsis.
June/Offred, one of the few fertile women in the oppressive Republic of Gilead, known as Handmaids, “struggles to survive as a reproductive surrogate for a powerful Commander and his resentful wife.”
Here’s what to know about Season 6 of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” including full episode schedule and cast.
