The Handmaid’s Tale returns to Hulu with its fifth season, and viewers will finally get to see what happened to June Osborne following the events of the previous season. The drama takes place in the fictitious state of Gilead, a dystopia for women in which they are repressed and forced into reproductive responsibilities by a religious organization. The narrative follows June, a handmaid who struggles against persecution and attempts to rescue herself and her sisters.
Season 5 will continue off where Season 4 left off, with June viciously murdering her abuser, Commander Fred Waterford, and being brought by Moira to safely escape the border. June’s emotional choice has put her in a difficult situation. Everyone is wondering, “What will happen to her next?”
