In simpler terms, Yahlin Chang, who jointly oversees The Handmaid’s Tale alongside Bruce Miller, has shared the reasoning behind concluding the series with episodes that evoke a sense of optimism or satisfaction.
The television series that chronicles June’s/Offred’s (played by Elisabeth Moss) struggles in the oppressive society of Gilead, has been praised during its broadcast due to its heavy topics and thrilling narratives, resulting in an intense viewing journey for viewers.
As the much-anticipated sixth and last season of the show is set to start next month, Chang shared at the William S Paley Television Festival that the creative team deliberately aimed to create a more optimistic atmosphere for the final stretch, describing the episodes as “upbeat” compared to previous series instalments.
