What’s ahead for the month of June? There will be further episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale in the future that will address these and other issues, and we’ve already discovered that this isn’t the last time we’ll see these characters (at least according to a cast member)

Hulu has already ordered a fifth season of the show before season 4 had even aired. Finally, June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) was able to retaliate against Commander Fred Waterford (David Harbour) (Joseph Fiennes).

According to rumours, a pregnant Serena Waterford will be a major focus of season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale (Yvonne Strahovski). Additionally, her decisions will have an effect on her husband Luke (O. T. Fagbenle) as well as her closest friend Moir (Katherine Waterston) (Moira Wiley).

Finale events were engineered by June in order for her to acquire control of Waterford A mob of former Handmaids slaughtered him and put his corpse on the wall as a form of punishment common in Gilead. Writing in blood underneath his corpse read “Nolite te bastardes carburondorum,” the most important phrase.

There is still no word on where June plans to travel after revealing her plans to her husband, Luke. Who knows what she’ll do next. For the fifth season, “Sophie’s Choice: The Series,” showrunner Bruce Miller said, “in that you’re going on with someone who’s made these dreadful decisions.”

Then he remarked, ” “Whether we can return to normal in the United States is a major question facing the country today. Right now in June, that’s where we are in terms of dates.”

Season 5 may not be the last chapter of the saga. As far as Miller is concerned, the programme will continue indefinitely. The show’s Aunt Lydia Clements, played by Ann Dowd, has confirmed that there will be a sixth season. To be safe, we’re going to trust Hulu until they say otherwise. Netflix just cancelled two TV programmes, proving that luck isn’t a guarantee for every production.

What we know about the upcoming fifth season of The Handmaid’s Tale thus far.

conjecture about the release date for The Handmaid’s Tale season 5

There is currently no release date for the fifth season of The Handmaid’s Tale.

In December 2020, the streaming service announced that it has renewed the drama for a 5th season. Season 4 has yet to begin filming when the news was announced during Disney Investor Day.

A reasonable assumption may be made about the release date of The Handmaid’s Tale season 5. April 2017, April 2018, and June 2019 are the release dates for the first three seasons of the show’s third season. This season’s launch was postponed until April 2021 due to the coronavirus epidemic, which also affected several other television and cinema projects.

However, filming has been hindered by the requirement to follow health and safety guidelines. That being said, it’s still feasible that a new season of the programme might premiere in April of 2022.

the 5 season of the handmaid’s tale

Season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale will include an unspecified number of episodes, according to Hulu’s confirmation of its renewal.

All four seasons featured ten episodes apiece, although the first two had thirteen.

Production delays and slowdowns due to the epidemic may limit the number of episodes in Season 5. Seasons might be cut short if the showrunners desire to bring it back sooner rather than later.

Season 4 of The Handmaid’s Tale ended with a cliffhanger

After a brief farewell, Fred Waterford travelled to Zurich to plead his case to the international court, which resulted in his release from prison in the fourth season of The Handmaid’s Tale. As a result of her displeasure, June was inspired to come up with an effective technique to keep Fred from escaping.

While Mark Tuello went out for a run, June approached him and asked if he would take her somewhere. Commander Lawrence had a deal for them there, and they accepted it. While serving as an informer for the opposition, Gilead captured and imprisoned 22 women.

Just as Fred was about to leave for Zurich, Mark consented, and Fred was arrested and driven into “no man’s land.” It wasn’t long until Commander Nick Blaine handed him over to Commander Lawrence, who had met him there.

In the woods, Nick and Fred were greeted by June. Fred’s shackles were freed after kissing Nick goodbye and saying farewell. She blew a whistle as he started to express his gratitude. In the woods, a bunch of ex-handmaids appeared, and June ordered Fred to go.

They chased after him as they tried to get away from him. After Fred tripped, June and the other ladies started hitting him.

A few hours later, the bleeding ladies returned to their homes in their automobiles. To her daughter Nichole’s delight, June silently entered her home and made her way up to the nursery. After seeing the blood on June’s face, her husband, Luke, realised right once what she’d done. He went to his knees in utter despair.

June apologised to him. Let me spend five minutes with her and then I’ll be on my way.

Fred’s headless corpse is revealed by a flash of light at this time. “Nolite te bastardes carburondorum” is scrawled in blood underneath.

While at the prison facility, Serena sits calmly at her computer, working. Outside, a postal worker is seen opening a parcel addressed to her, and she smiles at the sight. Fred’s wedding band comes tumbling off of his finger.
