Elisabeth Moss on The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6: “It’s Going to Be a Fierce, Savage Finale”
The announcement for the renewal of The Handmaid’s Tale with a sixth and final season was made even before the debut of the fifth chapter, so the project has been in the planning stage for a long time. Too bad, however, that Covid first and then the strike of writers and actors in the United States delayed the production of the series. Today, however, we have new information on the grand finale of the series directly from its protagonist, Elisabeth Moss who has spoiled that the last season of The Handmaid’s Tale will be “ferocious and wild” and will have all the emotional tension typical of the series but also any final season. According to the actress, these new episodes will be surprising and impressive until the end and the goal is to create a beautiful finale that can please the many fans of the show. Production of the series will start this summer.
Elisabeth Moss to Direct Four Episodes!

It’s not the first time that Moss has experimented with directing, in fact, in seasons 4 and 5, she had directed three episodes.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6: The Plot (potential)
But what should we expect from the plot of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6? Almost certainly an alliance between two characters who have been enemies so far but who could become allies: June and Serena who in the finale of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 meet on the same train, both with their little girls, fleeing from Canada to Hawaii. The last season of the series will put the spotlight on these two women, two mothers on the run with their children, and two people who will be forced to unite to give their children a better future. It will be very nice to see the new dynamics between Serena and June and how the roles they had in the series will be reversed allowing both of them to mature as characters. Another element that will be focused on will be the relationship between Nick and June which will be explored in depth, as well as the fate of a very interesting character with that of Janine, still in Gilead but ready to rebel from within. And Aunt Lydia? Will she change her mind about this government of female exploitation or not? Something tells us she will.
One thing is certain, though: The Handmaid’s Tale finale will follow the creators’ ideas and not the dynamics imposed by business. Bruce Miller promised fans. Additionally, Elisabeth Moss recently told Elle that in this new season of the series “June will figure out who she is and who she will be for the rest of her life.” “The fight is not just about one individual, it’s much broader. And I think she’s reaching a point in season five where she realizes that. Season six is really about that, and then all the characters figuring out where they stand and what their next move is,” Moss said.
