The Handmaid's Tale Season 6: Everything we know about the Hulu series' final season

The new version of 'The Testaments' is set 15 years after 'The Handmaid's Tale', but in the meantime, June still has some more immediate issues to deal with. The final season will likely resolve many of the issues left behind by the most recent finale, which saw June, after surviving two apparent assassination attempts, board a train heading west with her daughter Nichole. Except she's not alone: ​​Serena is also there with her new baby, Noah. Meanwhile, Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) has just married Naomi (Ever Carradine), and Janine (Madeline Brewer), Luke (O-T Fagbenle) and Nick (Max Minghella) are all finishing the season behind bars, after being arrested for various reasons.

The final season will likely have lasting repercussions for the entire future of Gilead, as Commander Lawrence has been obsessed with the idea of ​​a place called New Bethlehem, where Gilead's refugees could live safe from the persecution of the current regime. By the end of the season, Lawrence's Sanctuary Island has been built, and with Naomi by his side, his influence will only grow. Lawrence isn't altruistic, and his plan isn't exactly compassionate: instead, he wants New Bethlehem to bolster the old United States' position on the geopolitical scene, making it look better at the same time. the United Nations and its northern neighbour, Canada. As interpersonal drama and freedom fights unfold between the characters still struggling to escape Gilead's grasp, Commander Lawrence will likely continue to make major power plays in the final season. p>
