‘The Handmaid's Tale' Will Have an ‘Honest Conclusion' With Series Finale
The Handmaid's Tale is coming to an end after six seasons — and the series finale won't sugarcoat the story. During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, coshowrunners Yahlin Chang and Eric Tuchman teased the final two episodes of the show. "I think we can expect an honest conclusion to the story. We keep using the word honest because we try our best to be realistic," Tuchman noted. "What would happen in real life — and what we hope people take away — is this feeling of hopefulness and resilience that June and many of the other characters have demonstrated and will demonstrate in the last couple of episodes." With June (Elisabeth Moss) finally leading the resistance, viewers should expect genuine twists and turns, with Tuchman adding, "When you're up against an oppressive regime and when your rights are stripped away, you just never stop fighting. You keep going. Hopefully people will draw some optimism and feel empowered by what plays out." Everything 'The Handmaid's Tale' Cast Has Said About the Show Ending After Season 6 Chang, meanwhile, specifically praised the ninth episode of the season. "It is really the most epic episode of the entire series. It's incredibly satisfying because we've teased even in the marketing that the revolution is here," she explained. "You really get that in episode 9 and it comes to the forefront. It is so emotional and amazing." After wrapping the series, Chang told Us she found herself rewatching that specific episode as a way to 'pump myself up.' " It is really like a tour de force. We wanted audience members to be jumping out of their seats and so excited, so happy and to feel so good," she added. "It's amazing. Our fans are amazing that they have stuck with us through a lot of bad moments. So they, more than anyone, deserve some feel good moments. That really gets delivered in episode 9." Based on Margaret Atwood's novel of the same name, The Handmaid's Tale takes place in a dystopian future where low fertility rates have resulted in women being forcefully assigned to men for the sole purpose of bearing children. In addition to Moss, Samira Wiley, Yvonne Strahovski, Madeline Brewer, Ann Dowd, O-T Fagbenle, Max Minghella and Amanda Brugel have led the cast since the show's premiere. 'The Handmaid's Tale' Cast: See the Hulu Show's Stars Then and Now Executive producer Warren Littlefield also called the show's finale "really satisfying," sharing with Us in April, "Living in the world of Gilead for our audience is sometimes a tough journey. But I think their patience will be rewarded because this final year is ordinary women doing extraordinary things. The revolution is here and they're highly effective. There's joy. Is there still a Gilead? Yeah. But we celebrate what they accomplish and I think it'll be very satisfying for the audience." Viewers, however, shouldn't expect to get all their questions answered. "We are going to begin a journey right away with The Testaments. That is still a world that has Gilead. But it's a completely different point of view," he teased. "We will satisfy and really deliver triumphantly for our audience who's been with us through six seasons of The Handmaid's Tale. They will want and be curious to see more and see where The Testaments goes." The Handmaid's Tale airs Tuesdays on Hulu.

Roundup: U.S. stocks surge as U.S.-China trade talk lifts market sentiment
NEW YORK, May 12 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks rallied sharply on Monday after the United States and China announced a temporary rollback of reciprocal tariffs, providing much-needed relief to investors concerned about the escalating trade war's economic fallout. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1,160.72 points, or 2.81 percent, to 42,410.1. The S&P 500 added 184.28 points, or 3.26 percent, to 5,844.19. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased 779.43 points, or 4.35 percent, to 18,708.34. Ten of the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors ended in green, with consumer discretionary and technology leading the gainers by adding 5.66 percent and 4.66 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, utilities bucked the trend by losing 0.68 percent. Following a two-day China-U.S. high-level meeting on economic and trade affairs in Geneva, China and the United States announced Monday a series of tariff modification measures aimed at easing trade tensions between the world's two largest economies. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the latest round of trade talks with China as "very productive," noting that both nations agreed to temporarily reduce tariffs. U.S. duties on Chinese imports were cut to 30 percent, while China lowered its tariffs on U.S. goods to 10 percent. Speaking to CNBC's Squawk Box, Bessent said he expects to reconvene with Chinese officials in the coming weeks to begin working on a broader, long-term agreement. "It's the deal we've been waiting for. So the market is responding accordingly," said Peter Tuchman, senior equity floor broker with TradeMas Inc. Tuchman told Xinhua that he was very excited about the developments on China-U.S. trade talks and he was satisfied. Markets responded with enthusiasm. Tesla surged 6.75 percent, while Apple and Nvidia rose 6.18 percent and 5.44 percent, respectively. Companies with heavy exposure to Chinese supply chains led the gains: Best Buy climbed 6.56 percent, Dell Technologies rose 7.83 percent, and Amazon jumped 8.07 percent. A trade deal between the United States and China means a lot to the U.S. stock market, according to Tuchman. "Without a deal with China, it was starting to eat away at the ability for companies to give guidance for the next quarter. And that's the biggest thing weighing on the market now," Tuchman said. Tuchman expected that the S&P 500, at a minimum, should be getting back to around 6,100 points by the end of 2025. Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush, said in a note that autos are likely the next focal point in U.S.-China discussions. "This positive U.S./China news gives the market hope that Trump and Bessent will now focus on the Big Three automakers and broader U.S. auto industry." In a separate move, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday aimed at reducing domestic drug prices, pledging price cuts of at least 59 percent. While the order may raise prices overseas, a White House official said it could ultimately boost revenue for U.S. pharmaceutical firms. The combination of easing trade tensions and action on drug pricing helped propel stocks to their highest levels in weeks, as investors grew more optimistic about policy direction and global economic prospects. "Markets are all about expectations," Truist co-CIO Keith Lerner said. "And relative to expectations, the short-term news is better. And it's at a time when the market, I would say more broadly, the Street, is not positioned for this outcome." Some experts advise being selective as trade talks continue. "What I would like to say is be selective, mindful of the fact that this trade policy uncertainty will still linger for some time, and therefore look for companies that are quite insulated from these pressures," eToro global markets analyst Lale Akoner said. Investors are bracing for a key round of economic data this week. The consumer price index (CPI) report for April, scheduled for release on Tuesday, will be closely watched for any signs of rising consumer prices. Retail sales and the producer price index (PPI) will be published on Thursday.

"I have always been proud of CNN and proud to represent CNN around the world," Tuchman added. Based in Atlanta, Tuchman was a network correspondent and a staff correspondent on Anderson Cooper 360.

'Handmaid's Tale' showrunners say their series' 'warning' was 'ignored' based on Trump's re-election
Showrunners for "The Handmaid's Tale" lamented Americans not heeding the dystopian series' "warning" about authoritarianism with the re-election of President Donald Trump. Ex-CNN reporter Oliver Darcy spoke with Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang for the "Status" newsletter on Sunday to discuss the "striking similarities" between the fictional country Gilead and America under the Trump administration. Many liberal critics have drawn parallels between the two since the show's premiere in 2017 during Trump's first term, and Tuchman told Darcy he was surprised by how relevant the series has remained since then. However, he mourned how women now have "fewer rights" despite the show's message. 'The Handmaid's Tale' Star Rages Against Old Boss Jeff Bezos, Tells Him To 'F------ Speak Up' Against Trump "No, I don't think any of us could have predicted how closely the show would maintain its relevance and continue to reflect real events," Tuchman said. "The series has been called a cautionary tale about what can happen when power is abused and people's rights and freedoms are stripped away." He added, "But that warning was ignored, apparently, by the majority of voters, and Roe v. Wade was overturned. Women in our country have fewer rights now than when we started production in 2016." The series is based on the 1985 book of the same name by Margaret Atwood. Read On The Fox News App The showrunners insisted they never intentionally made political statements on the show and any connections only came from them trying to be "authentic" about "life in an oppressive regime." "The fact that their struggles on the show can sometimes feel eerily relevant to the real world is the result of us trying to write honestly about power, resistance, and how fragile our democracy and freedom are," Tuchman said. As an example, Chang pointed to a scene of the lead character June, played by Elizabeth Moss, being separated from her young daughter and connected it to Trump "separating families along our own border" in 2017, though he said the scene was written before he heard that news. Chang closed his portion of the interview by commenting about the show's depiction of how easily democracy can backslide even in America. 'Handmaid's Tale' Protesters Barge Into Los Angeles Cathedral During Mass "It is chilling," Chang said. "It's also true—democracies backslide and fail all the time. Seventy percent of the world's population lives in an autocracy. In our show, America as we know it was just this exceptional, temporary, extremely fragile experiment. Living in the world of Gilead imaginatively for this many years, I'm actually shocked that American democracy has lasted for so long." Fox News Digital reached out to Hulu for comment.
