In 2020, it was announced that The Handmaid’s Tale would return for a fifth season. Season 5 is now in production. Margaret Atwood’s universe will be modified to continue the plot from the conclusion of season 4.
The announcement of a new season was made by showrunner Bruce Miller, who stated, “We are happy to continue telling these stories with our wonderful cast and crew, and we cannot wait to return to the air.” We do not know if The Handmaid’s Tale will conclude with season 5, but we will be glued to the screen when it airs.

What is the Plot of The Handmaid’s Tale season 5?
June and other Gilead survivors beat Commander Fred Waterford to death in the woods, which will have grave repercussions, as the fourth season concluded on a highly dramatic note, but one that was long overdue.
It’s also conceivable that The Testaments, Atwood’s second novel and the sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, will receive more attention. However, this is merely speculation at this time.

“In season 5, June struggles to rebuild her identity and purpose while facing consequences for killing Commander Waterford. As Gilead’s power spreads into Canada, widowed Serena strives to increase her visibility in Toronto. Commander Lawrence collaborates with Aunt Lydia to reform Gilead and ascend to power. June, Luke, and Moira continue their attempt to rescue and reconcile with Hannah while fighting Gilead at a distance.”
Who is the Cast of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5?
The majority of The Handmaid’s Tale’s main characters will likely return for season 5. This indicates that Elisabeth Moss will reprise her role as June, with Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia, O-T Fagbenle as Luke, Max Minghella as Nick, Wiley as Moira, and Bradley Whitford as Commander Lawrence, Brugel as Rita, Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Waterford, and Madeline Brewer as Janine.
In addition, we anticipate the return of several new characters featured in season four. It is thought that Mckenna Grace will return as Mrs. Keyes after making an impression in Gilead. The actress is widely recognized for her major role in the Netflix adaptation of Sabrina.
After the brutal demise of Commander Waterford in the fourth season, Joseph Fiennes’s presence on the show will certainly be decreased. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Bruce Miller teased, “I would die if I never saw Joe [Fiennes] again.”
Alexis Bledel, who played former handmaid Emily Malek in seasons 1-4, has left the cast. She announced her resignation to Entertainment Weekly in a statement (opens in a new tab). Bledel stated, “After much contemplation, I felt obliged to leave The Handmaid’s Tale at this moment. I will be eternally thankful to Bruce Miller, Hulu, MGM, and the cast and crew for their support.
