How The Handmaid’s Tale Series Finale Ended After 6 Seasons—With One Big Burning Question
The Handmaid's Tale concluded its six-season run on Hulu with a series finale released on May 27, 2025, continuing the story 19 days after Boston's liberation.
The finale followed June's perspective, shaped by her captivity and separation from her daughter Hannah, and built on the series' established narrative framework of tapes and limited outside knowledge.
Key events included Massachusetts' full restoration as an American state, June reuniting with Janine and her mother, Serena revealing a commanders' flight plan, and June deciding to write a book about her experiences in Gilead.
June promised to retrieve Hannah, but she and Luke have not yet been shown reuniting with her. Meanwhile, Hannah will appear prominently in the forthcoming series The Testaments, where she will be portrayed by Chase Infiniti.
The series ended without Gilead falling, suggesting ongoing resistance efforts, with the spinoff expected to explore Hannah’s story, Lydia’s altered role, and possibly the regime’s collapse.
