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

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

Freaky Tales is set in 1987 Oakland, a fact it makes clear from its opening narration courtesy of Oakland rapper Too Short, whose raunchy ’87 track gives the film its title. And while that setting is a major part of all of its intertwined stories, its anthology structure evokes another era: the 1990s, specifically any chatty crime flick that came out in the wake of Pulp Fiction. That’s not to say Freaky Tales doesn’t have its own charms that almost make up for those too-familiar vibes. And, thi

The hyper-courtly Sir Thomas Wyatt wrote a verse satire in the mid-1530s that begins: ‘My mother’s maids, when they did sew and spin,/They sang sometime a song of the field mouse.’ Wyatt goes on to relate the song, which is pretty much the story of the town mouse and the country mouse as told by Horace in his Satires with some added shivers of late Henrician courtly horror. Did Wyatt’s mother’s maids read Horace? Were they reciting a folk tale they had received by oral transmission? Or (more pr
