The executive producer of the show, Bruce Miller, recently shared new updates about the popular series at a press conference. He revealed that the team has decided to give viewers "a sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale". He also added that it's an honour for him to "tell the story of Margaret Atwood's groundbreaking novel and the chillingly relevant world."

"Five years ago, almost to the day, The Handmaid's Tale made history when it became the first show to win an Emmy for a streaming service. In the time since, it has been a privilege and pleasure to work with some of the finest creative talents in our industry on this show – a distinct and exceptional group of people who continue to produce the highest quality television that has made and continues to make a significant cultural impact. Bruce, Warren, Lizzie and the entire team at MGM have been amazing partners, and we hope fans enjoy these last two seasons," saidErwich.
