    Hulu’s award-winning, hit drama series, The Handmaid’s Tale, has been renewed for a sixth and final season ahead of its season five premiere. In addition to season six of The Handmaid’s Tale, Bruce Miller (creator, showrunner and executive producer) is actively developing The Testaments, a follow-up to The Handmaid’s Tale,  which picks up years later.  

    Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale remains increasingly relevant nearly 40 years after its initial publication. In 2017, Hulu made history as the first streaming service to win a Primetime Emmy Award in the Best Series category when the program took home the award for Outstanding Drama Series. Since then, the series has been the recipient of numerous accolades including a combined 15 Emmy Awards, and the prestigious Peabody Award.

    “It has been a true honor to tell the story of Margaret Atwood’s groundbreaking novel and chillingly relevant world, and we are thrilled to bring viewers a sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale,” said Miller. “We are grateful to Hulu and MGM for allowing us to tell this story, which unfortunately has remained as relevant as ever throughout its run, and are in awe of our incredible fans for their unwavering support, and without whom we never would have gotten to this point.” 

    Said Craig Erwich, president, ABC Entertainment, Hulu & Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals: “Five years ago, almost to the day, The Handmaid’s Tale made history when it became the first show to win an Emmy for a streaming service.  In the time since, it has been a privilege and pleasure to work with some of the finest creative talent in our industry on this show–a distinct and exceptional group of people who continue to produce the highest quality television that has made and continues to make significant cultural impact.  Bruce, Warren [EP Littlefield], Lizzie [actor, EP, director Elisabeth Moss] and the entire team at MGM have been amazing partners, and we hope fans enjoy these last two seasons.” 

    The fifth season premieres with two episodes on Wednesday, September 14, on Hulu.
