The highly anticipated final season of The Handmaid’s Tale is set to arrive on Channel 4, bringing the gripping saga of Gilead to its dramatic conclusion. Ahead of the new season’s release, viewers can revisit all five previous seasons, which will be available for streaming on Channel 4.
Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, the series follows the life of June Osborne, played by Elisabeth Moss, as she fights against the oppressive rule of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that has stripped women of their rights. Once known as Offred, June is forced into servitude as a Handmaid, but her relentless spirit keeps her pushing back against the system.
Season six promises a high-stakes showdown as June intensifies her battle to dismantle Gilead. She isn’t alone though, Luke and Moira are stepping up their resistance, Serena is attempting to reshape Gilead’s future, and key figures like Commander Lawrence, Aunt Lydia, and Nick face their own reckonings. This final chapter explores themes of defiance, survival, and the unbreakable will to fight for freedom.
The show’s executive production team includes series creator Bruce Miller alongside Warren Littlefield, Eric Tuchman, Yahlin Chang, and lead actress Elisabeth Moss, among others. With its intense storytelling and sharp social commentary, The Handmaid’s Tale has remained a powerful force in television since its debut in 2017.
For UK audiences eager to know when they can watch the final season, an official release date is still under wraps. However, going by previous patterns, Channel 4 is expected to air the season a few months after its US debut in April. In past years, UK viewers had to wait between a few weeks to a few months after the US release. Season five marked a shift, as it was made available on Amazon Prime Video simultaneously with Channel 4. It’s likely that season six will follow a similar model, allowing fans to watch on both platforms.
For those looking to catch up, the full series will be available on Channel 4’s streaming service, and Amazon Prime Video also offers access to all previous seasons. Prime subscribers can stream ad-free with their membership.
With the conclusion of The Handmaid’s Tale on the horizon, fans are gearing up for what promises to be a thrilling and emotional finale. As the series closes this chapter, it also sets the stage for the next instalment in Atwood’s universe, The Testaments, ensuring that the legacy of Gilead’s story continues.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
