The Handmaid’s Tale: Last News

Hulu has renewed its Emmy-winning series The Handmaid’s Tale for a sixth and final season ahead of its season five premiere on September 14.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Deep into its run, “The Handmaid’s Tale” has found itself — or a version of itself, at once leaner and stranger — again. In the past, I’ve written that this show, which boasts a strong ensemble cast supporting probably the most agile performer on television, has been frustratingly unable to emerge from the potency of its set-up. Season after season was spent re-litigating the harms done to Elisabeth Moss’ June, all while reducing her from a recognizable human into a character history. The show made the point that June had been altered by trauma too well. Now, though, June feels liberated; in the wake of Season 4’s conclusion, in which our heroine led a mob killing of her tormentor (Joseph Fiennes), Moss’ performance feels opened up, and so does the series’ creative universe.
