Three years of waiting for the end of one of the best series of the moment – the excitement is almost unbearable!

So far, June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) has spent five seasons trying to take down the dictatorial state of Gilead, get her daughter Hannah back, live in peace with her husband Luke Bankole (OT Fagbenle) and somehow… her complicated relationship. starring Nick Blaine (Max Minghella). By the end of season 5 (spoiler alert!), however, all these goals seem further away than ever – and instead she finds herself in an unexpected community of ease with her enemy friend Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski).

How is this all going to be resolved over just one more season? Finally, after season 6 of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the series comes to an end. But it will be a while before we see these: After season 5 came out in 2022, season 6 won’t start until 2025 – and that’s testing fans’ nerves.

The sixth season was originally scheduled to be shot in 2023 and released in the fall of 2024. But then the Hollywood double strike and further scheduling delays intervened – and so filming still hasn’t started. Now Craig Erwich of the Disney Television Group explained : Production is expected to begin in summer 2024, while season 6 of The Handmaid’s Tale will launch in 2025.

Lead actress Elisabeth Moss joined a few weeks ago talked about the impending start of filming for the final season, but didn’t reveal any details. Fans will just have to be patient to discover the end of the extremely exciting series, which is one of the best in recent years with its strong performances and explosive themes surrounding political extremism, religious fanaticism and dark visions of the future.

It will not only be exciting to see how June Osborne, now on the run separated from her husband Luke, will pull together the threads of her dramatic story.
