In the first episode of the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale, viewers met Janine, played by Madeline Brewer. Like June, the main character played by Elisabeth Moss, she’s been abducted by Gilead and is now in the Red Center, where new handmaids are forced to learn their horrifying new duties. When Janine talks back, she’s hauled off for a biblical punishment: the loss of her eye. That set the tone for Janine’s harrowing journey throughout the series—but she never lost her spirit, and in the e

The Handmaid’s Tale ended its run this week with an episode titled “The Handmaid’s Tale,” bringing June (Elisabeth Moss) full circle while also allowing Hulu to leave the door wide open for The Testaments, the upcoming series based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 sequel to her 1985 novel. Emotional punctuation took priority over narrative closure, which felt like the best and only choice. After last week’s big revolutionary booms, including the airplane bomb that wiped out all of Boston’s most powerf

The Handmaid’s Tale has just one episode left to wrap up the story of June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss), who’s been fighting to take down Gilead since 2017—and has finally made some rather big strides in that direction. The penultimate episode of the Hulu show’s sixth and final season packed in a few major “oh shit” moments, including several farewells. Some were poignant. Others were not. Nobody is going to cry for Commander Wharton. That includes Serena, who’s now twice a widow, and whose intel h

In the sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, Gilead’s right-wing, misogynistic dystopia has finally started to crumble—and with just two episodes left after this week’s “Exodus,” the full-on revolution viewers have long been promised has begun. First, though, we have a wedding to attend—and what a memorable celebration! Did you get a look at that guest list? A lot has certainly happened up to this point. But Nick’s heartbreaking betrayal is something we’re just going to have to put be

There are some awful women on The Handmaid’s Tale, but men make up the bulk of its villainous characters. That goes for individual men like the thankfully departed Commander Fred Waterford, but also “men of Gilead” as a collective, oppressive, violent, misogynistic whole. The show tends to deal in heavy-handed themes, but it’s also invested in creating complex characters. The most fascinating examples are Gilead insiders who realize too late they’re trapped in prisons of their own making. We’ve

Watching The Handmaid’s Tale for the first time, the inevitable question soon rises: how did a place as oppressive and cruel as Gilead come to be? Over six seasons, we’ve learned the Gilead origin story through flashbacks sprinkled into the main narrative—something that feels increasingly like a cautionary tale for American viewers in 2025—and the Hulu show has also filled in blanks for its main players. But in a recent episode, it gave us another fresh glance into one character’s life “before.”

The last time we visited Gilead was way back in November 2022. It’s been a long gap, enough that casual viewers and even fans have allowed The Handmaid’s Tale, once an Emmy-dominating must-watch, slide off the radar. But The Handmaid’s Tale is back for one final season, and the timing is eerily perfect. Its themes feel unnervingly relevant again in our current political climate—and it channels plenty of energy and rage into its fierce final installment. (io9 watched the first eight episodes fr

It’s been a long minute since we’ve spent time in the hellscape of Gilead with The Handmaid’s Tale. Season five wrapped up in November 2022, and even fans who remained loyal viewers since that absolutely searing first season might understandably have a hard time remembering where things now stand. With a sixth season arriving soon, and a sequel series in the works, there’s fresh interest in The Handmaid’s Tale. It feels more politically relevant than ever—and the fact that it’s the final season

It’s now or never for the rebels of Gilead, a narrative urgency that’s long been used to propel The Handmaid’s Tale, but now feels like a promise as the show enters its sixth and final season. Today’s new trailer for the Margaret Atwood adaptation offers further hope that Elisabeth Moss’ June will at last see the oppressive regime that’s made life hell for so many—including herself; frankly, it’s a miracle she’s survived this long—topple once and for all. Her key allies, including Luke (O-T Fag

With The Handmaid’s Tale suddenly rocketing back into pop-culture consciousness due to its upcoming sixth and final season—and the fact that it’s unfortunately very culturally relevant again—the Hulu show has just set another reminder: the sequel series that was first being talked about in 2019 is still happening. First floated at the height of Handmaid’s initial popularity—it premiered in 2017, and had just wrapped up its third season at the time of the announcement—The Testaments will be base
