Will There 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 world of Gilead has captivated audiences for several years, and as Season Six of *The Handmaid’s Tale* recently concluded, fans are left with a whirlwind of emotions and questions. June Osborne, portrayed by Elisabeth Moss, and the resistance group Mayday took bold steps against Gilead, continuing a story that’s both heart-wrenching and inspiring.

#### The Conclusion of June’s Journey

In the series finale, June and Mayday orchestrated a significant strike against the oppressive regime, using an altitude bomb to take out several high-ranking Commanders. Among those eliminated were Commander Lawrence, played by Bradley Whitford, and Nick Blaine, portrayed by Max Minghella. However, the climax of June’s arc is tinged with sorrow, as she failed to reunite with her daughter, Hannah Bankole—an emotional weight that continues to drive her character.

Yet, amid the tension, there are moments of hope. June’s friend, Janine Lindo (Madeline Brewer), found solace after being reunited with her long-lost daughter. This poignant moment sparks a flicker of optimism for fans, suggesting that perhaps June too may find her happy ending someday. Meanwhile, Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski), having fled Gilead, now resides in a refugee camp with her son Noah, even extending an olive branch to June by apologizing for her past actions.

#### The End of an Era: Will There Be More?

As the dust settles on Season Six, the pressing question on everyone’s mind is whether there will be another season of *The Handmaid’s Tale*. The answer is a resounding no. Showrunner Bruce Miller has confirmed that this season marks the conclusion of June’s story. In the final moments, she returns to the crumbling abode that once belonged to the Waterfords, a chilling reminder of her past life and the journey from oppression to freedom.

In a twist that mirrors the complexities of the original novel by Margaret Atwood, the series finale features June starting a tape-recording process to document her experience under Gilead. This method ties back to the epilogue of the book where a historian questions the authenticity of June’s narrative, suggesting it may be exaggerated. Bruce Miller emphasized that *The Handmaid’s Tale* centers on June’s personal journey rather than the broader narrative of rebellion against Gilead.

#### Reflecting on June’s Evolution

Miller remarked poignantly, “It’s The Handmaid’s Tale, not Hannah’s Tale. It’s focused on June’s journey from handmaidness to freedom.” As June sheds her identity as a handmaid, the series poignantly captures a character who has transformed over six intense seasons.

Yet, while June’s story concludes, the universe of *The Handmaid’s Tale* is far from over.

#### A New Chapter: The Testaments

For fans eager for more content, hope is on the horizon with the upcoming spin-off series *The Testaments*. This new narrative, based on Atwood’s sequel novel, explores the lives of high-ranking women within Gilead, bringing an entirely different perspective to the oppressive regime.

Led by the formidable Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) and new characters Agnes (Chase Infiniti) and Daisy (Lucy Halliday), *The Testaments* is set five years after *The Handmaid’s Tale* finale, establishing continuity in the storyline. As Gilead continues to unravel, viewers will witness how the regime’s collapse unfolds from the vantage point of those who wield power, albeit oppressively.

Adding to the fervor surrounding this new chapter, lead star Elisabeth Moss will also serve as an executive producer for *The Testaments*, ensuring that the essence of the original series is preserved.

### Streaming Availability

For those wishing to revisit June’s harrowing tale or catch up on any missed episodes, *The Handmaid’s Tale* is available for streaming on Hulu, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the complexities and emotional depths of Gilead once more.
