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

If you’ve been following io9’s coverage of The Handmaid’s Tale season six, you might have caught our list of five things viewers needed to remember about season five. There was a long gap between seasons, and quite a few high-stakes plot threads to keep track of. One of the items on that list was the departure of fan-favorite character, whose absence was explained away in the season five premiere. We wondered if perhaps that person might return in season six, and, well… Yes! Alexis Bledel’s Em

Ann Dowd's Aunt Lydia is a key character in Hulu's upcoming sequel series 'The Testaments,' so her survival was assured. With just one episode to go in The Handmaid’s Tale, the creators, cast, and crew look back in a detailed new oral history that addresses some of the biggest questions viewers have asked about its story over the years. That includes: if Gilead is such a violent police state fond of swiftly executing any and all dissidents, how has Elisabeth Moss’ character, the rebellion-leadi

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

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

The sixth season of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale arrives in April, bringing its run to an end while also presumably setting up sequel series The Testaments, itself coming to Hulu soon. For all the show’s initial acclaim, many fans had sort of forgotten about it; not entirely surprising, since season five wrapped up all the way back in 2022. With its final installment on the way, we decided to look back at that fiery first season—and realized just how chillingly believable its bleak alt-reality has

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
