When Does Season 5 Of The Handmaid's Tale Start

Okay, let's talk about The Handmaid's Tale. Specifically, Season 5. Anyone else feel like they've been waiting approximately 84 years for it?

Seriously, I've aged several presidential terms since Season 4 ended. It's like dog years, but for dystopian drama fans.

The Great Handmaid's Tale Wait: A National Crisis?

So, when DOES it actually start? The suspense is killing me. I might start wearing a bonnet ironically just to cope.

Honestly, I've Googled "Handmaid's Tale Season 5 Release Date" so many times, my search history is probably flagged as suspicious activity. I'm practically on a first-name basis with all the entertainment reporters.

Is There a Light at the End of This Dystopian Tunnel?

Fear not, fellow sufferers! The good news is, Season 5 did happen. Phew!

It actually premiered back in 2022. You might have already missed it, sorry!

But here's the even better news: you can probably stream it somewhere. Likely Hulu. Do people still use Hulu?

My (Possibly Unpopular) Handmaid's Tale Opinion

Okay, prepare yourselves. This might be controversial.

But, does anyone else think The Handmaid's Tale is... a little too much sometimes?

Like, I get it. Dystopian societies are bad. Oppression is bad. We're all on board with that, right?

But after four seasons of near-constant torture and bleakness, I'm starting to feel like I need therapy just to watch it. Is that just me?

I love Elisabeth Moss. I really do. She's phenomenal. But even her amazing acting can't always pull me out of the despair swamp.

Maybe that's the point. Maybe I'm supposed to feel uncomfortable. But, still... a little bird told me some people agree with me.

A Call for Handmaid's Tale Self-Care

Look, I'm not saying The Handmaid's Tale is bad. It's brilliantly made. It is important.

But I am saying that watching it requires serious self-care afterwards. Bubble baths are mandatory.

Maybe a puppy video or two. Definitely something involving copious amounts of chocolate.

If you are planning on binge-watching it, pace yourself. Please. For your own sanity.

And remember, it's just a show! (Even if it feels terrifyingly relevant sometimes.)

So, About That Season 5 Thing...

So, to recap: Season 5 exists. You can probably stream it. And you might need therapy after watching it.

I'm off to find the nearest ice cream shop. Join me? We can discuss our feelings about Gilead over a double scoop.

Just promise me you won't make me wear a bonnet.
