Is there going to be another season of The Handmaid’s Tale? Fans are curious if there’s more from The Handmaid’s Tale

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from The Handmaid’s Tale season 6

The Handmaid's Tale Season 4 Review: Hope For a Better Future?

Season six of The Handmaid’s Tale recently wrapped up after June Osborne (played by Elisabeth Moss) and Mayday took on Gilead and rose up in Boston.

The resistance movement managed to take out some of the high-ranking Commanders with an altitude bomb, including Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) and Nick Blaine (Max Minghella).

Although June failed to be reunited with her daughter Hannah Bankole (Jordana Blake), she would keep fighting to see her child again.

On a happier note, Janine Lindo (Madeline Brewer) was reunited with her own stolen daughter, giving some hope to fans that June would eventually get her own happy ending.

Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) and her son Noah were now living in a refugee camp after fleeing Gilead again and even apologised to June for her role in the former handmaid’s torture. A woman in white looks angry

Is there going to be another season of The Handmaid’s Tale?

The short answer is no. The Handmaid’s Tale has finished with June returning to the now dilapidated house that was once the Waterfords’ residence and her former prison.

There, June started recording her tapes which form the basis for her testimony against Gilead.

In Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale, there’s an epilogue in which a historian disputes the veracity of June’s testimony and even suggests it may be overexaggerated.

Former showrunner Bruce Miller previously confirmed The Handmaid’s Tale would be ending with season six and wrapping up June’s story.

He confirmed the drama wasn’t about Gilead, rebellion or bringing down the system but solely her tale, as per the show’s title.

Miller previously told The Hollywood Reporter: “It’s The Handmaid’s Tale, not Hannah’s Tale. It’s focused on June’s journey from handmaidness to freedom.”

Adding: “It’s not June’s Tale. It’s her time as a handmaid. And at the end, the final episode is that she’s not a handmaid anymore in any way, shape or form.”

However, The Handmaid’s Tale fans can rest easy knowing that Miller is hard at work on the show’s spin-off series The Testaments, which takes its cue from Atwood’s follow-up novel.

The Testaments has a very different flavour as it charts the lives of high-ranking women within Gilead, who remain oppressed by the misogynistic government.

Led by Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) and new characters Agnes (Chase Infiniti) and Daisy (Lucy Halliday), The Testaments will see how Gilead will collapse eventually.

The sequel series takes place around five years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale series finale, so there will be continuity here.

  1. This season of *The Handmaid’s Tale* was intense, especially with June’s relentless fight against Gilead. The bombing scene was shocking, but it felt like a necessary step in the resistance. I’m heartbroken that June didn’t reunite with Hannah, but Janine’s reunion gave me a glimmer of hope. The ending with June recording her tapes felt bittersweet—like she’s finally reclaiming her voice. I’m curious about the historian’s perspective in the epilogue—do you think June’s testimony was exaggerated? The spin-off *The Testaments* sounds intriguing, but I wonder if it’ll capture the same emotional depth as the original series. What do you think about the focus shifting to high-ranking women in Gilead?
