It was back in September 2022 when fans of Hulu and series creator, showrunner & executive producer Bruce Miller's Elisabeth Moss & Yvonne Strahovski-starring The Handmaid's Tale learned that the critically acclaimed series would be returning for a sixth & final season. They just didn't know when – which takes its toll on a fandom when it's soon to be February 2024. Moss is feeling their pain, sharing a production update with Jimmy Kimmel during her visit to ABC's late-night talk show. Beginning at the 2:46 mark in the video above, Moss revealed that filming is set to get underway this summer – with "maybe 2025" as the closest to a "premiere window" that she could offer.
During an interview with THR back in September 2022, Miller was asked when they had envisioned how the series would end. "I've been thinking about the end since the beginning," Miller revealed, now that a sixth & final season has been confirmed. "I've been thinking about the end of this story since I read 'The Handmaid's Tale' the first time. It's one of those books that when you finish reading it, all you think about is the end. So in the end, story-wise, we've been able to stay pretty close to what we had thought from our initial discussions and what Lizzy [Moss] and I had talked about, and what Margaret [Atwood] and I had talked about."
