The sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale is set to premiere on Hulu on April 8, 2025, with the first three episodes dropping on the same day, followed by weekly releases until May 27, 2025. The teaser trailer, released by Hulu, hints at a climactic and action-packed conclusion to the series. The tagline, “The revolution is here,” sets the tone for the final battle against Gilead’s oppressive regime. The teaser features June (Elisabeth Moss) reflecting on the symbolic red cloaks of the handmaids, calling it “the color of rage,” as she prepares to lead a rebellion.
The season will explore the aftermath of June’s relentless fight for freedom, with key characters like Luke, Moira, and Serena taking pivotal roles. Luke and Moira join the resistance, while Serena attempts to reform Gilead. Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia face the consequences of their actions, and Nick undergoes significant moral challenges. The season promises to highlight themes of hope, courage, and solidarity in the pursuit of justice.
The production budget for the final season is estimated to be around $100 million, reflecting the high production values and elaborate set designs that have been a hallmark of the series. Hulu expects significant returns, as the show has consistently been one of its most-watched originals. The series has also been a critical success, winning 15 Primetime Emmy Awards since its debut in 2017.
The teaser trailer and first-look images have already generated excitement among fans, who have been eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the story since the fifth season ended in 2022.
