The first season of The Handmaid’s Tale was released on 26 April 2017. Bruce Miller created the show based on the novel of the same name written by Margaret Atwood. The second season of the show premiered on Hulu on 25 April 2018. The Handmaid’s Tale season 4 premiered on Hulu on 5 June 2019. The series was renewed for a fourth season in September 2019. The show is set to pick up after the cliffhanger finishing of the third season, where June Osborne, performed by Elisabeth Moss, sacrificed herself to help the kids of Gilead escape. Here’s everything we know about season 4 of the show so far:
Release Date Of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4
There is no official exact release date of season 4 of the show. By looking at the release date of the previous three seasons, we expect season 4 of the show to release in Autumn 2024.
Cast Of Season 4 Of The Handmaid’s Tale
There is no official announcement about the cast members of season 4 of the show. But, most of the main characters of the show are expected to return in season 4 of the show. These include Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne, Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia, Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy, O.T. Fagbenle as Luke, Joseph Fiennes as Commander Waterford, and Alexis Bledel as Emily. According to sources, Rita played by Amanda Brugel, will not be returning in season 4 of the show.
Expected Plot Of Season 4
Season three of the show has only just concluded airing on Hulu, so there is no official announcement of the plot of season 4.
The next season of the show is likely to pick up on the cliffhanger finishing of the third season, where June performed by Elisabeth Moss was cleared away by her fellow handmaidens.
The kids managed to flee and make the trip to Canada, so we expect to see more of this in the fourth season of the show.
Serena played Yvonne Strahovski was also arrested in the final episode of the third season, which will have an influence on her future in the fourth season.
