Fans in the UK are just days away from the highly anticipated finale of *The Handmaid’s Tale* Season 6, which is also the *series* finale. The final episode, episode 10, is set to premiere in the UK on **Saturday, July 5, 2025**, on Channel 4 and Prime Video. With the show officially drawing to a close after six powerful seasons, a barrage of questions about the fate of our favorite Gilead residents will finally be answered.
For American viewers, the series finale already aired on Hulu on May 27, 2025, bringing June Osborne’s harrowing journey to a conclusion. The sixth season has seen June continue her relentless fight against Gilead, with a primary focus on rescuing her daughter, Hannah. The penultimate episode delivered shocking twists, including an explosive plot that resulted in the deaths of several high-ranking Commanders, including Nick Blaine and Joseph Lawrence, fundamentally shifting the power dynamics within Gilead.
The finale is expected to tie up many loose ends while setting the stage for the future of the liberated territories and the continued resistance. Key questions revolve around:
* **June Osborne’s ultimate fate:** Will she finally find peace or continue to be consumed by her fight for justice? The final scene of the season sees June beginning to write her story, hinting at the genesis of “The Handmaid’s Tale” as a historical account.
* **Hannah’s rescue:** While Boston has been liberated, Hannah remains in Gilead. The ending suggests June’s fight will continue, albeit outside the main series.
* **Janine’s destiny:** After enduring unimaginable suffering, will Janine finally find lasting freedom and reunification with her daughter?
* **Aunt Lydia’s role:** Having shown significant signs of disillusionment with Gilead, what path will the formidable Aunt Lydia choose moving forward?
While *The Handmaid’s Tale* itself is ending, the dystopian world of Margaret Atwood will live on. Hulu is actively developing a sequel series titled **”The Testaments,”** based on Atwood’s follow-up novel, which is set roughly 15 years after the events of *The Handmaid’s Tale*. Filming for “The Testaments” reportedly began in April 2025, with an anticipated release in **Spring 2026**. So, even as one chapter closes, another is about to begin.
