Production Starts on Final Season of The Handmaid's Tale

The final season of The Handmaid’s Tale has commenced production, with filming starting on September 3, 2024, in Toronto. Elisabeth Moss, who stars as June Osborne, is directing the first episode and has been involved in multiple episodes throughout the season. Season six is scheduled to premiere in spring 2025, following an extended delay due to industry strikes and Moss's personal circumstances. The story will continue from the dramatic cliffhanger of season five, where June and other characters flee to Hawaii, navigating the complex politics between Gilead and Canada. Showrunner Bruce Miller has stepped back, with Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang now leading the final season. The conclusion promises to tie up loose ends while also setting the stage for the upcoming spinoff series, The Testaments.
