It’s been a long wait for season four of The Handmaid’s Tale, but the dystopian drama will finally return for UK fans tomorrow night on Channel 4.
On June/last Offred’s appearance, she had managed to board all of Gilead’s kids into Canada before being shot by a Gilead soldier and transported to safety by her fellow handmaidens.
With season four’s premiere set to follow on from season three’s riveting cliffhanger, I’m sure we’re all keen to find out whether June makes a full recovery and manages to flee Gilead once more to join her family.
There was a lengthy wait for season four, but it was well worth it, according to critics and the show’s chief producer, who praised the new season as “patience rewarded.”
The Handmaid’s Tale season 4 review is a must-read before the current series (and there are no spoilers here!).

Despite the fact that she received a possibly fatal wound in the season three finale, the trailer for season four shows that June is alive and eager to resume her mission to save the children of Gilead.
An aunt Lydia played by Ann Dowd is among those who will be returning, along with the likes of Yvonne Strahovski.
Samira Wiley and Max Minghella and O-T Fagbenle and Amanda Brugel and Bradley Whitford.
It was recently announced that The Haunting of Hill House’s McKenna Grace would join the cast as Mrs. Keyes.
The brilliant and religious teenage wife of a much older Commander who uses her calm and devout appearance to disguise what Deadline describes as a “inner struggle, even insanity.”
What will Happen in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4?
Taking place in a dystopian future version of the United States, The Handmaid’s Tale depicts Gilead.
A totalitarian country in which women are compelled to serve as “handmaids” and give birth to the leader’s offspring.
A group of children were rescued by plane at the end of the third season, but June (Elisabeth Moss) was gravely injured in the process and carried away by her fellow handmaids.
Serena Joy also persuaded her husband Fred Waterford to come to Canada to face war crimes charges.
But in return he exposed her own cruel deeds (and in the process disclosed that Nichole isn’t his biological daughter, her real father is Nick).
Will Season 4 be the Final Season of The Handmaid’s Tale?
Warren Littlefield, executive producer of The Handmaid’s Tale, hinted at several more seasons at the Television Critics Association press tour.
The next season has already been confirmed. For him, “The Testaments” by Margaret Atwood is a “narrative that carries us 15 years into the future,” hence he has not planned for Season 4 to be the series’ final season.
“As far as I know, there’s no way we’ll be done before the end of [Season 4]. Nonetheless, I think it would be a good idea to leave the audience wanting more and then transition into The Testaments, which would be wonderful.”
