The Handmaid's Tale season 5 is officially on its way to our screens – the next installment of the Hulu show is currently filming. While we don't have a release date for the new season just yet, we've done our best to predict when it might return to the streamer, and we've got plenty more information besides. 

Season 4 ended with a bang, and we're sure the repercussions of June and co.'s actions will ripple long past the opening episode. The majority of the cast are expected to return, and some of them have given some hints as to what lies ahead for their characters, including Samira Wiley, who plays Moira. One of the bosses at Hulu has even hinted at how the series will link to author Margaret Atwood's sequel novel, The Testaments. So, for all that and more, read on to find out everything we know so far about The Handmaid's Tale season 5.

There’s no release date confirmed for The Handmaid’s Tale season 5 yet. However, filming on the show has started as cast member Amanda Brugel, who plays Rita in the show, shared the update on her Instagram account. She posted a video in February 2022 featuring her on set for season five.
