Hollywood Minute: Hulu drops first look at ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ season 6 and reveals thrilling final chapter details

"The Dress Became Our Uniform": First Look at The Handmaid's Tale's Final Season and Cynthia Erivo is set to receive the Stephen F. Kolzak Award

(CNN)- Hulu has released a tantalizing first glimpse of the sixth and final season of the Emmy-winning dystopian drama, “The Handmaid’s Tale.” A chilling voiceover sets the stage for a climactic showdown, declaring, “They believed that these garments that they put on our bodies told the world who we are. To mark us, they put us in red, the color of blood. They forgot that it’s also the color of rage. The dress became our uniform… and we became an army.”

The ominous words, accompanied by brief but intense visuals, hint at a growing resistance movement within Gilead, the totalitarian regime that has enslaved and oppressed women. The iconic red Handmaid’s dress, a symbol of subjugation, is poised to become a symbol of rebellion. The trailer offers glimpses of familiar faces, suggesting a season filled with high stakes, emotional confrontations, and potentially, the downfall of Gilead.

Fans have eagerly awaited the conclusion of June Osborne’s (Elisabeth Moss) harrowing journey, and this first look promises a powerful and unforgettable final chapter. Will June and the burgeoning resistance finally overthrow the oppressive theocracy? What sacrifices will be made in the fight for freedom? These questions and more will be answered when “The Handmaid’s Tale” returns to Hulu with three episodes on April 8th. Subsequent episodes will be released weekly, culminating in the series finale on May 27th.
