The Handmaid’s Tale is expected to be ready for a 2021 premiere of Season 4, however, and the early renewal could be a sign that Season 5 could begin production sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately, The Handmaid’s Tale was one of many shows that had to halt due to the pandemic, after only a few weeks of production, and it won’t make a 2020 premiere date.
Although the initial news broke courtesy of Disney, Hulu has released a video of the cast announcing Season 5, and they seem a whole lot more excited than their characters probably will be.
