‘The Handmaid's Tale' Season 6 Release Schedule—When Do New Episodes Drop On Hulu?
THE HANDMAID'S TALE - 'Exile' - June tries to settle in a new community. Serena seeks a sanctuary. ... More Luke and Moira take a big risk.
The beginning of the end is here for the long-running dystopian drama The Handmaid's Tale. The first three episodes of the show's final season are now streaming on Hulu. Wondering when the rest will arrive? Keep reading for the full release schedule and more details about The Handmaid's Tale Season 6.
It's been a painfully long wait since Season 5 ended nearly two years ago. When viewers last saw June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss), she was fleeing the rise of anti-refugee sentiment in Canada after realizing the country was no longer a safe haven. Together with Luke (O.T. Fagbenle), they sought out a cross-country train bound for Vancouver, hoping to reach a boat or plane headed to Hawaii, one of the few American outposts left.
As June boarded the train, police detained Luke on the platform for assaulting a Gilead sympathizer. June and baby Nichole made it on board, but they weren't alone. They encountered Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), who was traveling with her own newborn after fleeing the Wheelers, the Gilead loyalists who had held her and her child captive. With Hannah still trapped in Gilead, June is still on a mission to rescue her daughter before she's forced to live out a handmaid's tale of her own.
'In the final season of The Handmaid's Tale, June's unyielding spirit and determination pull her back into the fight to take down Gilead. Luke and Moira join the resistance. Serena tries to reform Gilead while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia reckon with what they have wrought, and Nick faces challenging tests of character,' the synopsis reads. 'This final chapter of June's journey highlights the importance of hope, courage, solidarity, and resilience in the pursuit of justice and freedom.'
Moss continues to lead the main cast, alongside Strahovski, Fagbenle, Bradley Whitford, Max Minghella, Ann Dowd, Samira Wiley, Madeline Brewer, Amanda Brugel, Sam Jaeger, Ever Carradine, and Josh Charles.
As June's fight against Gilead reaches its most crucial stage yet, here's everything you need to know about The Handmaid's Tale Season 6, including the release schedule, episode count, and viewing details.

Social media users react to Musk-Trump feud
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's war of words has left Washington analyzing how quickly their once close relationship deteriorated and the implications. But social media users around the world took out their popcorn, flocked to their devices, and chimed in as the feud played out on social media. From Musk and Trump's supporters cheering each of them on, with others telling them to cool things off, to memes from other internet users relishing in the back and forth, platforms like X, Truth Social, and BlueSky have allowed the public to watch it all unfold and weigh in in real time. "They see this as a catfight," Jennifer Grygiel, an associate professor of communications at Syracuse University, told ABC News. "The one reason people are tuning in is because we are watching mutual destruction." MORE: Trump tells ABC Musk 'lost his mind'; 'not particularly' interested in talking to him Grygiel noted that while some of the social media engagement might be all fun and games, it does speak to a larger issue about the public's dissatisfaction with the current state of politics and civic engagement. More important, the professor pointed out, it does distract from the bigger political issues and debates going on. As soon as Musk's and Trump's posts dropped Thursday afternoon, social media users started to post themselves. "This is like Drake and Kendrick Lamar but they're both Drake," Anna Hughes, a Canadian Ocean conservation researcher in a viral BlueSky post. One famous support of both Trump and Musk urged them to stop. "Broooos please noooooo 🫂 We love you both so much," rapper Ye posted on X. Others started making memes, some of which used AI-generated images, of Trump and Musk fighting or appearing as a couple breaking up. "LET ME HOST THE REUNION!" late night talk show host Andy Cohen posted on X. On the serious side, Republicans on the Hill, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance, put out statements on X defending the president and the spending bill. "There are many lies the corporate media tells about President Trump. One of the most glaring is that he's impulsive or short-tempered. Anyone who has seen him operate under pressure knows that's ridiculous," Vance posted. Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec claimed in an X post that the pair's back-and-forth was blown out of proportion. "Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows," he said. Some Democrats took to social media to gloat. MORE: Trump Musk feud explodes with claim president is in Epstein files "Siri, play 'Bad Blood,'" Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer posted on BlueSky Thursday evening, referencing the Taylor Swift song about a relationship on the rocks. The online peanut gallery wasn't limited to American spectators. Dmitri Medvedev, the former Russian president and Russian prime minister, took to X early Friday morning with a georpolitical dose of sarcasm. "We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment. Don't fight, guys," he said. Grygiel said Trump and Musk knew they would stir up their political bases and the general public by taking their quarrels to their respective social media platforms, likening it to how media tycoons owners used the magazines and newspaper they owned at the turn of the 20th century. "It's almost like all of these social media platforms are sports teams, with their own personalities," they said. "If anything both men obviously know the importance of tweaking public opinion." Grant Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University, told ABC News that Musk and Trump's use of social media has encouraged this political engagement for years. "I think it's very emblematic of the whole process of a lot of big changes in political communication and campaigning rhetoric. Grygiel, however, said the posts and comments by some social media users show the public's increased distrust and frustration with their elected leaders. MORE: CBO estimates Trump's bill could add $2.4T to deficit, leave 11 million without health insurance "The jokes speak to a lack of disengagement and how we feel like this is ridiculous," they said. Grygiel, however, warned the engagement over the spat is overall detrimental to the general public as other pressing issues, including Trump's budget cuts, which set off the feud in the first place. Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy echoed this sentiment in a blunt BlueSky post Thursday. "When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a s--- about a made-for-clicks Twitter fight between two billionaires arguing," he said.
