The Handmaid’s Tale’s Elisabeth Moss Confirms S6 Filming Dates
And teases her biggest project to date.
Summary:
- Elisabeth Moss is an American actress known as The Handmaid's Tale's Offred.
- The show has been renewed for its 6th and final season in 2022, but it has not been filmed yet.
- During the appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actress confirmed that filming will begin next summer.
The Handmaid's Tale was the show that truly captivated and shocked audiences when it first debuted on Hulu. As horrifying as the dystopian reality it portrayed was, people couldn't look away from it, even at its most disgusting moments.
The journey of June, or Offred, as portrayed by Elisabeth Moss, has become very personal for many women who have suffered sexual or reproductive abuse of any kind.
The idea of this horror becoming a reality, supported and encouraged by state structures, was already a very relevant fear, but seeing it played out on television sparked a much-needed conversation.
While some viewers feel the show hasn't lived up to the standard of quality it set in its first seasons, the finale of The Handmaid's Tale is still highly anticipated by its loyal fanbase. The problem is, despite being renewed years ago, filming for the final season has yet to begin.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Release Date
During her recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Elisabeth Moss confirmed two great pieces of news.
On a more personal note, the actress announced her first pregnancy, assuring the audience that all is well health-wise. Although she chose not to talk about a due date, the second announcement leads us to believe that the birth will likely happen soon.
This summer, the actress is expected to return to filming to wrap up the devastating story of The Handmaid's Tale. Noting that the people in her life are also starting to get a little upset about not having the final season yet, Moss also confirmed that at this rate, it won't be released until 2025.
Depending on how long the filming will take, the show will also have to spend at least a few months in production before being scheduled for release on Hulu. Given the recent deal between Hulu and Disney Plus, there is also a chance that the final season will be placed according to the streamer's strategic needs.
Either way, having a timeframe, even if it is vague, adds to viewers' excitement for the finale. With anticipation, people are ready to see where the train takes June and Serena, what fate awaits Luke, and how Gilead will continue to struggle for survival.
If you're as excited as we are, keep an eye out for more news and behind-the-scenes updates from The Handmaid's Tale to be the first to know the exact release date for season 6. Until then, you can binge-watch seasons 1-5 on Hulu.
