The Handmaid’s Tale returns to Hulu for its fifth season, and viewers will finally get to see what happened to June Osborne after the events of the previous season. The drama is set in the fictional state of Gilead, a dystopia for women in which they are oppressed and forced into reproductive responsibilities by a religious organization. The story follows June, a maidservant who struggles against persecution and tries to save herself and her sisters.
Season 5 picks up where Season 4 left off, with June brutally murdering her abuser, Commander Fred Waterford, and being taken by Moira to safely escape the border. June’s emotional choice has put her in a difficult situation. Everyone wonders, “What will happen to her now?”
