The Handmaid’s Tale: Season 6 Marks the End of the Series
As the sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale draws to a close, fans of the hit dystopian drama are having to come to terms with the fact that they will not be returning to Gilead for a seventh season. According to reports from Cosmopolitan, the show’s creators have confirmed that season 6 will be the last, and a sequel series is already in the works.
The news was confirmed by Cosmopolitan, which reported that the show’s creator, showrunner, and executive producer Bruce Miller had been planning the final season for some time. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Miller revealed that he had been given a lot of time to think about how to conclude the story, saying, "It’s been a very, very, very luxurious time that I’ve had to think about what happens at the end of this story and exactly how we’d like to get there as a company."
Cosmopolitan reports that the decision to end the show after six seasons was not taken lightly, but was always part of the plan. The show has been a huge success, and has been widely praised for its portrayal of a dystopian society in which women’s rights have been stripped away. The show has gone far beyond the original book by Margaret Atwood, and has taken fans on a wild ride of twists and turns.
While it may be sad news for fans that there will not be a seventh season, Cosmopolitan reports that there is still more to come from the world of The Handmaid’s Tale. A sequel series, based on the book’s sequel The Testaments, is already in production at Hulu. The new series will see the return of some familiar characters, including Agnes (AKA June’s daughter Hannah), Daisy (AKA June’s other daughter Nicole), and Aunt Lydia.
According to Cosmopolitan, the new series will be set several years after the end of the original show, and will follow the story of three women as they navigate the changing world of Gilead. The show is expected to be released sometime next year, although no official release date has been confirmed.
Cosmopolitan also reports that the cast of The Handmaid’s Tale has been praised for their performances throughout the series, and it is expected that many of the main cast members will return for the new series. Fans of the show will be relieved to know that they will not have to wait too long before returning to the world of Gilead, and can look forward to more of the drama and suspense that has made The Handmaid’s Tale such a hit.
In conclusion, while the news that The Handmaid’s Tale will not be returning for a seventh season may be sad for fans, Cosmopolitan reports that the show’s creators have always planned for this to be the final season. The new sequel series, based on The Testaments, is expected to be released next year, and will see the return of some familiar characters. Fans of the show can look forward to more of the drama and suspense that has made The Handmaid’s Tale such a hit, and can rest assured that the world of Gilead will continue to be explored in the future.
