According to Comic Book, Hulu announced at the Toronto International Film Festival that the acclaimed adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel will end in season 6.
For those unfamiliar, the series features the drama of former book editor June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss). After the United States is transformed into the totalitarian regime of the Republic of Gilead, June is separated from her husband Luke Bankole (OT Fagbenle) and her daughter Hannah (Jordana Blake) and forced to “serve” the leaders of this regime.
During the statement, creator, showrunner and executive producer Bruce Miller said that:
“It has been a true honor to tell the story of Margaret Atwood’s groundbreaking novel and its hauntingly relevant world, and we are thrilled to bring viewers the 6th and final season of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. We are grateful to Hulu and MGM for allowing us to tell this story, which has remained as relevant as ever throughout its run, and we are in awe of our incredible fans for their unwavering support, without whom we would never have come this far. . .”
Here in Brazil, the series is broadcast by Paramount+, and the 5th season will be released in the catalog on September 18.
