The Handmaid's Tale season 6: preview
A siren call for solidarity, courage and hope in the leering face of totalitarianism, no show captures the zeitgeist quite like The Handmaid’s Tale, the acclaimed adaptation of Margaret Atwood's prescient 1895 novel. Just as Gilead was the product of one revolution, so it will require its equal and opposite to restore common sense to the former United States.
Having conducted herself with dignity only to be passed around like meat by government officials, and persecuted, abused and tortured by their devotees, we've seen growing signs that June (Elisabeth Moss) is prepared to start fighting fire with fire.
Season 6 picks up in the tumultuous aftermath of the attempt on June's life by a pro-Gilead militant, who knocked her down and ran her over in a truck, before being beaten to death by Luke (O-T Fagbenle), who in turn had to hand himself in to police to ensure safe passage for June and Nichole out of an increasingly Gileadean Toronto.
On the train out of the city, who should they bump into than Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) and Noah? On the run for the hardcore Gileadean Wheelers, the erstwhile acolyte has a chance to put things right with June and devote herself to crushing the regime of Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) and Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd).
