Exciting news for fans of The Handmaid's Tale as its sixth and final season gears up for filming this summer. Elisabeth Moss, who stars in the series and holds an executive producer role, recently discussed the upcoming conclusion with UPI. Moss assured viewers that while the plot may diverge from Margaret Atwood's book, the series will maintain its tone and spirit, guided by the novel's overarching themes.
Since its inception, The Handmaid's Tale has immersed audiences in the dystopian world of Gilead, following the journey of protagonist June Osborne, or Offred, as she navigates oppression under the rule of Commander Fred Waterford. The show delves into the struggles faced by handmaids like Offred, who are forcibly impregnated due to the infertility of the commanders' wives.
Over five seasons, the series has introduced new storylines, deviating from the original plot of Atwood's book. However, Moss assured fans that while the ending may not mirror the novel, the show remains faithful to its essence. With a commitment to preserving Atwood's vision, viewers can anticipate a finale that honors the thematic integrity of The Handmaid's Tale.
