Nearly three years have passed since we last saw “The Handmaid’s Tale” on our screens, and excitement for its return has been steadily growing.

In the gripping dystopian series, viewers found themselves at the edge of anticipation during an intensely suspenseful Season 5 conclusion. The storyline unfolded as June Osborne (played by Elisabeth Moss) managed to flee from Canada’s tumultuous situation while holding baby Nichole in her arms.

The long-awaited meeting between Serena Joy (played by Yvonne Strahovski) and her counterpart in the finale is certain to create waves throughout seasons 6. Yet, with their history of conflict, one might wonder if they can set aside their differences for a higher purpose?

Although we have a short while longer before the last season arrives, its anticipation is justified given that the official summary hints at an exhilarating journey for the Margaret Atwood adaptation.

In the last season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” June’s indomitable spirit and resolve draw her back into the struggle to overthrow Gilead. Luke and Moira become part of the resistance movement.
