Handmaid’s Tale Season 6

Apparently this is being filmed this year (as there were strikes last year) and will be out in 2025. I’m conscious that it’s been running for quite a long time now. I wonder if they will cover what happens when Handmaids are no longer fertile. The actress Handmaids in the first series would now be in their late thirties / early forties.

I wonder if well behaved Handmaids, which probably means the ones who produced the most kids, might become Marthas. And the others would probably be sent to the colonies?

CruCru · 21/07/2024 17:26

Yes. Or maybe the really compliant ones may become Aunts? The older Handmaids will still know how to read and write.

I will watch but only as I've seen it through this far, the last season or so definitely lots the plot a bit for me! Hope to see her reunited with Hannah.

I never managed to catch season 5 anyone know where it can be watched?

Gettingbysomehow · 05/03/2025 12:39

I seem to remember in the book handmaids who failed to have children were sent to the colonies so I suppose the others who were too old could become Martha's, econowives ot aunts.

This is the last series (although I understand that Ann Dowd is signed up for The Testaments). It will be interesting to see how they wrap this up.

It's out next week in Australia 😊 I can't wait to see it ❤️

First three episodes released on channel 4 tomorrow.

I love this series, however the wait time for the next season is always forever.
Surely this must be the last one?

Are they? I've seen no announcement from Channel 4 about a date, just that they will be showing it. I'll be really pleased if it's tomorrow.

You don’t really need to watch it anymore. Just watch America on Fox News

Nakkityknees · 07/04/2025 08:10

I would need to rewatch the last series. Is it all on Prime? I can't remember where it got to.

Yes, this is the last one. I think they are now making The Testaments (much later sequel to the Handmaid's Tale).
