The Handmaid’s Tale is officially back in action! Yes, after an eternity (or, you know, a couple of years that felt like an eternity) of waiting, the Hulu drama is finally filming again. Someone grab Aunt Lydia, because this is big news!
Hulu made the epic announcement on Friday (September 6) with the most exciting on-set photo ever: none other than Elisabeth Moss herself, looking like she’s ready to both act and overthrow Gilead one clapboard at a time.
For those keeping track, the last time we saw June and her fellow red-robed rebels was in November 2022, back when gas was cheaper and we hadn’t yet lost 97% of our patience. But hey, between writer strikes, actor strikes, and probably a few more plagues (because why not, 2023?), they finally wrangled enough guys to start filming again. Somewhere, Serena Joy is sipping a smug cup of tea.
In a move that can only be described as a power flex, the show’s official Instagram posted, “Guess who’s back? Production on the final season has officially started. #TheHandmaidsTale will return Spring 2025.” Spring 2025?! That’s only, what, another couple of apocalypses away?
But let’s talk about the real headline here: Elisabeth Moss is holding the clapboard, and it says “Director.” That’s right, she’s not just the queen of eye rolls and rebellion, she’s also running the show. Moss has directed six episodes already, which is roughly six more episodes than most of us have directed. So, you know, no pressure, Lizzy.
The Handmaid’s Tale is back, Elisabeth Moss is in charge, and we’ll all be glued to our screens in Spring 2025, probably wearing red robes and pretending we live in Gilead. Let the countdown begin!
