Ever since Season 5 arrived, fans have been wanting to know about the Season 6 release date of The Handmaid’s Tale. The series is set in a dystopian future and based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. It follows June Osborne, who lives as a concubine to the Gileadan officer, Fred Waterford, and his wife, Serena Joy. Over the years, she has fought to gain her freedom by uniting with the likes of Luke and Moira. But when will she return for the sixth season?
Here’s all of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 release date?
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6’s release date is planned for 2024.
Before Season 5 arrived in 2022, series creator and showrunner Bruce Miller revealed that June and the others would be returning for the sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale. The series usually launches one season per year.
But for the final season, the creatives have been taking their time. Series actor Madeline Brewer, who plays Janine said on The Graham Norton Show in 2022:
“We have one more season, and that’ll be coming in 2024”.
So, it is safe to assume that the final season will arrive in early-mid 2024. This date is an estimation based on the information we have so far. ComingSoon will provide an update to this story once we receive official details.
We expect the upcoming final season to end June’s story by letting her figure out who she is going to be for the rest of her life. The cast expected to return includes Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne as the lead. Alongside her, we’d also see Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy Waterford, Madeline Brewer as Janine, Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia, O-T Fagbenle as Luke, Max Minghella as Nick, Samira Wiley as Moira, Bradley Whitford as Commander Lawrence, and Amanda Brugel as Rita.
Where is The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 coming out?

“Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Offred (Elizabeth Moss), one of the few fertile women known as Handmaids in the oppressive Republic of Gilead, struggles to survive as a reproductive surrogate for a powerful Commander and his resentful wife.”
