When Does The New Season Of Handmaid's Tale Start

Okay, let's get real. We're all wondering the same thing. When, oh WHEN, does The Handmaid's Tale return?

Seriously, my streaming schedule feels EMPTY without it. And let's be honest, my vocabulary has shrunk significantly since the last season ended.

The Great Handmaid's Tale Drought

It feels like ages, right? I mean, has it really been that long? Or am I just experiencing some kind of Gilead-induced time warp?

You search online. You ask your friends. The answers are vague. So, what's the deal?

The truth is...officially, there's no official date yet. Cue the dramatic music!

We know season six is happening. This is the final season. So it's a big deal.

But a release date? Still shrouded in mystery. Like Gilead's inner workings.

Okay, don't despair. We can speculate! And I love to speculate.

Looking at past seasons, there's a pattern. Sort of. A loose, unpredictable pattern.

Seasons have premiered in the spring and summer. So, fingers crossed for warm weather and dystopian drama!

Okay, brace yourselves. I'm about to drop a truth bomb.

Maybe...just maybe...I'm kind of okay with the wait? Don't hate me!

Hear me out! The Handmaid's Tale is intense. Like, really intense.

Sometimes, a break is good. A chance to mentally prepare for the emotional rollercoaster.

I can rewatch old episodes. Analyze June Osborne's facial expressions. Perfect my "Under His Eye" stare.

Alright, let's get back to facts. We know what's coming, narratively speaking.

Season six promises to be a HUGE conclusion. Loose ends tied. Fates decided.

Expect to see the fight against Gilead ramp up. Alliances tested. And probably a lot of stress-eating on my part.

So, how do we survive the wait? I have a few ideas.

First, read The Testaments by Margaret Atwood. It's the sequel! Consider it homework.

Second, watch other shows. Distract yourself! May I suggest something lighthearted?

Third, and most importantly, refresh the Hulu page CONSTANTLY. You know, just in case.

And fourth, remember, we are all in this together! We are all waiting, anticipating, and slightly terrified.

Look, Hulu, if you're listening...please, just give us a date! Throw us a bone!

A vague "coming soon" is NOT enough. We need specifics. We need a plan.

In the meantime, I'll be here. Patiently (or impatiently) waiting. And refreshing Hulu. A lot.

Under His Eye. And hoping for a premiere date announcement. Soon.
