The good news is that the show, an adaptation of the Margaret Atwood novel, will indeed return for another batch of episodes. However, it will be the last.

Elisabeth Moss will reprise her role of June Osborne one final time, showrunner Bruce Miller told Deadline.

“It has been a true honour 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,” Miller said.

He added: “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.”

Considering how quickly season five was aired after the fourth, the show is expected to air its final season in 2023.
