The sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale is finally here, meaning the horrors of Gilead flashing across our screens is finally coming to an end (well, until the inevitable re-watch, that is). It’s been over two years since the finale of season 5 aired and in that time, the anticipation for season 6 has grown to the size of a Canadian rescue plane.

We were left on quite the cliffhanger at the end of season 5 with June and Serena both escaping on a train headed out west, Luke being hauled off by the Canadian authorities, Janine being taken away from the Lawrence’s household, and Nick being detained after punching Commander Lawrence in the face. Oh, and who could forget the failed attempt to raid the school Hannah goes to (Hannah, by the way, is STILL stuck in Gilead).

There’s so much that has to happen in season 6 and I, for one, cannot wait. If you’re in the same boat and need to know exactly when each episode of season 6 is coming out, we’ve got all the info down below.

When does The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 premiere?

Season 6 premieres on Hulu on April 8. It’s technically premiering at midnight EST on the 8th, but 9 p.m. PST on the 7th. The premiere is not one, not two, but three episodes dropping at the same time. It’s a nice little gift from the powers that be before they start making us wait week after week for the next episode to air.

How many episodes are in The Handmaid’s Tale season 6?

For the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, we’re sadly not getting any extra episodes, but the good news is we’re not getting any fewer, either. There will be exactly 10 episodes this season, leaving us with roughly 10 hours to wrap up this terrifying(ly realistic) saga. I don’t know about you but I’m both sad and somewhat relieved for it to be coming to an end.

Here’s When Every Episode of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Comes Out

The end is near for one of television’s most haunting and unforgettable series. After five seasons of resistance, heartbreak, and survival, The Handmaid’s Tale returns for its sixth and final season — and fans everywhere are counting the days until they can step back into the world of Gilead for one last time.

Season 6 promises explosive confrontations, deep betrayals, and the ultimate showdown between June Osborne and the regime that tried to break her. According to Hulu, the final season will consist of 10 episodes, and now, we have the complete release schedule.

What to Expect in Season 6?

This final chapter is expected to pick up after the shocking events of Season 5 — June’s daring escape, Serena’s power struggle, and the crumbling walls of Gilead. Expect brutal power plays, emotional reunions, and a climax that could redefine everything.

“June Osborne started this journey alone, but she won’t finish it that way,” teased showrunner Bruce Miller.
