The Handmaid’s Tale executive producers Bruce Miller and Warren Littlefield recently explained how Gilead will be portrayed differently in Hulu’s upcoming sequel spinoff The Testaments. Production on the new show began in April 2024, with franchise lead Elisabeth Moss attached as an executive producer.

During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Miller and Littlefield expressed their excitement about The Testaments, introducing a side of Gilead as seen through the eyes of girls who grew up within the totalitarian system. "I think June was at the very bottom of the ladder in Gilead. She was barely considered a woman," Miller said. "But her daughter, Agnes Mackenzie, who's still stuck in Gilead, is at the very top of the order. So, what you realize is that they're incredibly valued by Gilead, but it doesn't matter. Being at the top or being at the bottom is still sh***y for a woman in Gilead.

The Friend is gaining traction at the box office through sheer word of mouth; it continues to garner overwhelmingly positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The reason is immediately evident in the film's premise, exploring themes of grief and friendship with the help of an adopted, mischievous dog.

The Friend is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, based on critic and audience consensus; it currently has high 80% ratings on the Tomatometer and Popcornmeter scores. Directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel, The Friend follows its main protagonist Iris (played by Naomi Watts) coming to terms with her close friend's passing; Walter (Bill Murray) made that all the more challenging, however, when he entrusted his dog Apollo to Iris before his death. The Friend is a heartwarming story about grief and friendship, a tearjerker for pet parents and everyone who has experienced loss.

At the heart of The Friend is its Great Dane...

Finally, after two long years spent dangling in the air from The Handmaid’s Tale season 5 cliffhanger finale, the award-winning dystopian saga is back with season 6, also known as the final season. Hulu debuted the last part of June’s (Elisabeth Moss) fight to rescue her daughter and put a stop to Gilead on Tuesday, April 8 with a three-episode premiere that saw our plot move forward after reaching its most critical stage yet.

Season 5 saw some major turning points riddled with deeply personal stakes, betrayal, and changing power dynamics. Tensions between Gilead and the U.S. government intensified after an American military operation to rescue children failed horribly and resulted in numerous deaths. Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) created a more liberal province within Gilead called New Bethlehem, where there are no handmaids, hangings, or abuse. June and Luke (O-t Fagbenle) ventured into No Man’s Land only to get captured and separated.

There have been reports circulating online that fan fave HBO series The Leftovers would be removed from their streaming service, Max, on June 3, 2025. Well, there’s an update to this.

Major series returns and highly anticipated premieres dominate April’s release list.

Spring is all about rebirth and renewal, and in the first full month of the season, some of TV’s biggest shows are on their way back for their first or follow-up seasons. Two highly anticipated new series debuted during the first week of April—Netflix’s “Devil May Cry” adaptation and FX and Hulu’s “Dying for Sex,” starring Michelle Williams—but the best is yet to come this month. Several major series will return this month, including one of the year’s most anticipated returns: Season 2 of HBO’s “The Last of Us,” picking up five years after the Season 1 finale.

We’ve been waiting a long time for the final chapter of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ to hit our screens, and now it’s almost here. This dystopian series has kept us hooked with its dark tale of Gilead, a place where women like June Osborne fight to survive under a brutal regime. With season 6 just starting, it’s the perfect moment to brush up on where we left off and get ready for the big finish.

I can’t believe it’s been over two years since season 5 wrapped up. That cliffhanger left us all wondering what’s next for June, Serena, and the rest of the crew. The show’s been a wild ride since it kicked off in 2017, and with this being the last season, the stakes feel higher than ever. Let’s dive into the key moments and characters you’ll want to have fresh in your mind before the premiere.

The sixth season of The Handmaid’s Tale opens with three episodes that reposition several central characters. June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) and Serena Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski), who had briefly found common ground at the end of season five, are split again as the new season begins.

Serena departs from a train while holding her infant son, avoiding a confrontation with Gilead refugee women. Her escape leads her to New Bethlehem, a separate enclave managed by Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford). Her arrival marks a return to the place where her influence once held weight, though her role there appears to be taking on a new form.

June, who had helped Serena during the train incident, continues north and reaches Alaska. There, she reconnects with her mother, Holly, portrayed by Cherry Jones, who reprises her role from earlier seasons. Holly, who had been presumed dead, welcomes June and her granddaughter. The reunion provides...

The biggest question for The Handmaid’s Tale viewers heading into the sixth and final season was what was going to happen to June and Serena after they got on that train.

The three-episode premiere of the Emmy-winning dystopian Hulu saga quickly answered that question by setting its starring women on diverging paths once again for the final chapter in this Gilead story. Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) ends up jumping from the train, with her baby son in her arms, to escape a mob of Gilead refugee women looking for revenge against the former Gilead wife. She eventually makes her way back to Gilead via New Bethlehem, the reformed community founded by Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) where she is needed to recruit refugees.

June (Elisabeth Moss), who helped Serena escape, ends up making it to Alaska, where she reunites with her mother Holly (played...

Elisabeth Moss is opening up about casting Josh Charles in the new role of Commander Wharton for the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale.

The Emmy-winning actress joined Josh and co-stars Bradley Whitford and Ann Dowd for a SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations event on Tuesday night (April 8) in New York City.

In a new interview, Elisabeth explained why she knew Josh was the perfect person for the role.

“[Commander Wharton] is the worst person in Gilead in a way, and you need a really good actor to handle that,” she told TheWrap. “I also know him personally from working with him on The Veil and I knew he would really fit within the family … So when this character came up, I was like, ‘Yes, what about Josh Charles?’ We talked for a couple of hours about the character, him and I, and really talked through what he...

Praise be. The Handmaid's Tale is back for its highly anticipated final chapter, more than two years after we saw June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) board a train "headed west" with her baby, Nichole, in the Season 5 finale. Also onboard was June's nemesis, Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), who was toting her own newborn. What's in store is a "furious and frenzied ride" that brings the groundbreaking Hulu series based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel back to Emmy-winning form, according to critics.

Thus far, reviews for Season 6 are the show's best yet, boasting a perfect 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes (versus 80 percent for Season 5).

The Handmaid's Tale received 76 Emmy nominations with 15 wins over its first five seasons. At the 69th Emmys in 2017, the first season picked up prizes for drama series, directing, writing, lead actress (Moss), supporting actress (Ann Dowd), and guest actress (Alexis Bledel), in addition to trophies for cinematography and production design.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Margaret Atwood‘s The Testaments novel.] The Testaments, a spinoff series of Hulu‘s The Handmaid’s Tale, has gotten an official series order and has rounded out its cast. This comes as The Handmaid’s Tale is debuting its final season on Tuesday, April 8. Production on The Testaments began on April 7 in Toronto, Canada. As previously announced, Ann Dowd will reprise her role as Aunt Lydia in the spinoff. She’s joined by Presumed Innocent‘s Chase Infiniti as Agnes and Lucy Halliday as Daisy. Lydia, Agnes, and Daisy are the main protagonists of the Margaret Atwood novel of the same name on which the series is based. The spinoff series has been in development since 2022 and will debut after the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale. Rowan Blanchard was the newest cast member revealed for this Hulu spinoff, her casting announced on ...

The Handmaid’s Tale delivered something unexpected when it ended last season. The cliffhanger finale to the penultimate season of the Emmy-winning saga put the complex pairing of June (Elisabeth Moss) and Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), along with their babies, on a train to the unknown with other Gilead refugees. That finale, titled “Safe” and written by creator Bruce Miller and directed by Moss, ended with a range of facial expressions from June that landed on a smirk.

“At the very end it feels like June is powerless. She can barely walk after the car accident, she has her baby all by herself and is in misery — she’s starting at the bottom,” Miller told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, recapping her harrowing season. But then he delivered some optimism about what was to come: “Look at all these people who are acting under her influence. She’s a leader now...

We knew the day was coming, but we didn't expect it to arrive so quickly. One of the only two A24 horror films currently streaming on Netflix will be leaving the platform very soon. How soon? We're talking next week. After being added in January 2025, it's already time to say goodbye to this horror masterpiece that had everyone talking back when it first hit theaters in 2018. It's the psychological horror Hereditary, and it's set to depart Netflix on Tuesday, April 15.

Since this film isn't a Netflix original but rather a licensed title, we always knew it would eventually be removed. However, we expected it to stay on the platform for at least six months before leaving. It turns out Netflix only secured the streaming rights for a three-month period. With the removal date fast approaching, it's crucial to watch it before it's gone. There’s no guarantee it will return,...

“The Handmaid’s Tale” has finally blessed viewers with Season 6, the final chapter of the hit Hulu drama series. And after a nearly three-year-long wait, TheWrap wants to make sure you know exactly when, where and how to watch.

Even though Bruce Miller and his team of writers left us on a major cliffhanger, fans of the show, which was adapted from Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, fans are scurrying right back to TV screens to see June (Elisabeth Moss) hopefully take her revenge on the cruel and repressive state that is Gilead.

Here’s everything you need to know about when and how to watch.

This article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of "The Handmaid's Tale" season 6.

The third episode of "The Handmaid's Tale" season 6 is titled "Devotion," and we've seen how devotion to religion can become poisonous when Gilead forces women into sexual slavery. But some of the most faithful characters are starting to question their own devotion or the devotion of others. In the previous episode, "Exile," Commander Lawrence barely joins dinner prayers. Serena later demands he gets down on his knees and say his own. He repeats Serena's same prayer from another night, causing her to question what is driving him to create New Bethlehem if it isn't God. He replies that whether it's God or not, he can't prove or disprove it. "And as they wrote in the 'Book of Mormon' musical, that's kind of what God was going for, right?" he dryly jokes. It's always jarring when there's...

The Handmaid’s Tale has always been one of those shows that forces you to think about where we are heading, and in my book, if a TV show can do that as well as entertain you, it is one of the best series ever made, and that’s why it was extremely hard for me to accept that The Handmaid’s Tale is ending.

Based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood, the series was created by Bruce Miller for Hulu. In its sixth and final season, we will see the story’s conclusion of our favorite characters, such as June and Nick Blaine.

Based on the novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale debuted in 2017 to positive reviews, and has emerged as one of the defining series of the first wave of streaming. In many ways, it put Hulu on the map in the early days, and has since achieved tremendous success on the awards circuit.

The final season of The Handmaid's Tale, set to debut on April 8 with three episodes, and will conclude with a finale on May 27. As per the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the new season currently holds a perfect 100% approval rating.

Una nueva tanda de episodios de la serie más aterradoramente plausible,...

The dystopian drama ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ returns for its sixth and final season on April 8, 2025. Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, the series has captivated audiences with its portrayal of a totalitarian society and the resilience of protagonist June Osborne. As the narrative approaches its conclusion, fans eagerly anticipate the resolution of June’s journey and the fate of Gilead. This article provides an overview of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ (Season 6) plot, cast, episode release schedule, and viewing platforms.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Recap So Far:

The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian drama based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name. Set in a near-future totalitarian state called Gilead, the series follows June Osborne, a woman forced into sexual servitude as a “Handmaid” after environmental disasters and plummeting birth rates render most women infertile. Under Gilead’s strict theocratic rule, Handmaids are assigned to elite households to bear children for the ruling class.

With all the casting announcements for The Testaments, it’s probably not of great surprise that The Handmaid’s Tale sequel is officially a go. However, it’s always good to see Hulu give a project the greenlight, as it means we can finally get very excited for it.

And it seems odd to say that we’re excited for the most depressing franchise right now. The Handmaid’s Tale and its upcoming sequel The Testaments were written as a warning of what could happen, and they feel like they’re slowly becoming a reality. Watching The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t pure entertainment right now, but it is still riveting TV.

The Testaments production begins with more casting additions made

So far, we know of the three female leads — one of which is Ann Dowd’s Aunt Lydia, which suggests she makes it through The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 — and two of the...

As Hulu’s dystopian series “The Handmaid’s Tale” comes to an end, Elisabeth Moss looks back on playing June Osborne with admiration.

“I hope that she gives courage to somebody who needs it, whether it’s in our country or another country,” Moss told Variety about the handmaid turned freedom fighter. “She’s somebody that people can hopefully look up to. She’s very brave, and I look up to her.”

The hit show returns with its sixth and final season on April 8, and audiences should brace for an explosive finale as the rebellion in Gilead finally ignites.

“It goes a little wild there toward the end, and I think it’s what the fans have been waiting six seasons for — they’ve been waiting for revolution,” said Madeline Brewer. “We had a long resistance, we had a lot of building and building and really a slow burn to what is an outrageous revolution,...

Bill Murray and Naomi Watts star as best friends in The Friend, a comedy-drama about a friend leaving his beloved pet, a Great Dane named Apollo, to his best friend. The friend didn’t let the bestie know about this plan, leaving the friend both grieving and trying to find a place for a dog that is not allowed in her no-pets apartment.

There even seems some doubt about whether that was really ever said out loud. But it is what the friend’s second ex-wife, who has the dog now, tells her he wanted. Naomi Watts plays Iris, the friend who is left the dog when her best friend Walter (Bill Murray) suddenly dies.

The Handmaid's Tale started on Hulu way back in 2017. The show began by adapting Margaret Atwood's classic book about a dystopian society where the few remaining fertile women are turned into slaves to stem a population crisis. Their only purpose is to bear children for the elites in society.

The Handmaid's Tale has stuck with this story, although it's gone far beyond the pages of Atwood's book. The upcoming sixth season will close out the series. Here's a rundown of when each of the 10 episodes will come out:

Season 6, Episode 1: "Train" — April 8, 2025Season 6, Episode 2: "Exile" — April 8, 2025Season 6, Episode 3: "Devotion" — April 8, 2025Season 6, Episode 4: "Promotion" — April 15, 2025Season 6, Episode 5: "Janine" — April 22, 2025Season 6, Episode 6: "Surprise" — April 29, 2025Season 6, Episode 7: "Shattered" — May 6, 2025Season 6, Episode 8: "Exodus" — May 13, 2025Season 6, Episode 9: "Execution" — May 20, 2025Season 6, Episode 10: "The Handmaid's Tale" — May 27, 2025

Pulse (Netflix) Release Date:...

The Handmaid’s Tale may be coming to an end, but Hulu is not saying goodbye to Gilead. Earlier this week, the streamer officially picked up sequel The Testaments to series.

The Gilead follow-up series will adapt Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel of the same name and see Ann Dowd returning as Aunt Lydia, with Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss executive producing. It will follow June’s (Moss) daughter Hannah, known in Gilead as Agnes, and the team behind the series revealed some more key details at the The Handmaid’s Tale‘s final season premiere on Wednesday.

Creator Bruce Miller, who was also behind the original series, told The Hollywood Reporter that The Testaments takes place four years after the end of Handmaid’s Tale and is the story of “Agnes MacKenzie living in Gilead and gradually finding out who she is. In the end of the book The Testaments they bring down Gilead,...

In its final season, Hulu’s Emmy-winning dystopian series “The Handmaid’s Tale” asks some familiar questions which many throughout history have struggled with to this day: What does effective resistance look like? Who can we look to for leadership and wisdom in times of great struggle?

In the world of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the answer to both is June Osborne.

Based on the novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” is a harrowing and inspiring tale about the power of one person to bravely stand up against injustice and change the world. It’s also a frustrating missed opportunity to learn from and engage with the real people and history from which this story draws its inspiration. These have always been the two sides of this series, and Season 6 leans into that strange dichotomy more than ever.

In the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, June’s unyielding spirit and determination pull her back into the fight to take down Gilead. Luke and Moira join the resistance. Serena tries to reform Gilead while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia reckon with what they have wrought, and Nick faces challenging tests of character. This final chapter of June’s journey highlights the importance of hope, courage, solidarity,...

Based on Sigrid Nunez’s bestselling novel, The Friend is a poignant and powerful story of grief and the unexpected ways that we heal. Following the sudden death of her friend and former professor, Walter (a pitch-perfect Bill Murray), Iris finds herself the guardian of Apollo, his beloved—and ginormous—Great Dane. What begins for Iris as a completely overwhelming arrangement gradually evolves into a life-changing experience.

Naomi Watts (Feud) delivers a touching performance as Iris, a writer and teacher who grapples with the absence of her mentor while also caring for his giant, grieving dog in a small, rent-controlled, no-pets-allowed apartment. A cat person, Iris never expected to be responsible for a dog, let alone one the size of a small horse who misses Walter as much as she does. No one, including herself, believes this arrangement will work out.

Next Tuesday, on April 8, Hulu will start airing the sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale, its adaptation of Margaret Atwood's 1985 dystopian novel...well, actually, they finished adapting most of Atwood's book a while ago and have been exploring a new story, but the basics are still there: a fertility crisis led to the collapse of the United States as we know it and the rise of an autocratic nation called Gilead, where the few remaining fertile women are used as breeding stock. June (Elisabeth Moss) is one such "handmaid." Recent seasons have focused on her trying to rescue her daughter Hannah — called Agnes in Gilead — from the tyrannical regime.

The Emmy-winning series The Handmaid's Tale premiered in 2017, based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel of the same name. The series was a huge critical success, and it's to end this year with Season 6, but the franchise continues.

Atwood wrote a sequel to The Handmaid's Tale in 2019 titled The Testaments. Shortly after, Hulu and MGM confirmed they were developing a sequel series to The Handmaid's Tale based on the novel. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Hulu has officially picked up The Testaments and revealed it will start production shortly.

The Handmaid's Tale Season 6 is set to return on Apr. 8 on Hulu, but the sequel series The Testaments will enter production a day ahead on Apr. 7. The sequel recently cast its lead, Lucy Halliday, who is set to play Daisy, one of the three main female protagonists in the series.

Welcome back to Gilead. “The Handmaid’s Tale” sequel series “The Testaments” has officially received a series order from Hulu.

The streamer also announced more casting for the show, including series regulars Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander and Mabel Li.

Seimetz plays Paula, the hard-shelled homemaker and fearsome stepmother to Agnes (Chase Infiniti). Before she was renamed, Agnes was known as Hannah in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” in which the character was played by Jordana Blake. Alexander plays Garth, a young Commander who becomes involved in the personal lives of the girls he’s sworn to protect. And Li plays Aunt Vidala, the stern heir-apparent to the women’s sphere of Gilead.

Also joining the cast are Zarrin Darnell-Martin (Aunt Gabbana), Eva Foote (Aunt Estee), Isolde Ardies (Hulda), Shechinah Mpumlwana (Jehosheba), Birva Pandya (Miriam) and Kira Guloien (Rosa). Previously announced cast members are Mattea Conforti, Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Ann Dowd and Rowan Blanchard.

Praise be, the news is official: The Testaments has been picked up to series at Hulu and will go into production April 7. The streamer announced the update with a photo from the table read (above) and some news: The Handmaid’s Tale star Ann Dowd, who plays Aunt Lydia, is confirmed to star in the follow-up, as had been expected, and Elisabeth Moss — star, director and executive producer of The Handmaid’s Tale — will be executive producing The Testaments.

Joining the previously announced leads Chase Infiniti, playing Agnes, and Lucy Halliday, playing Daisy, are new cast Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien.

Hulu has officially ordered The Handmaid’s Tale follow-up The Testaments to series with production set to begin on April 7. From executive producers Bruce Miller and Warren Littlefield, the drama is based on the 2019 Margaret Atwood novel of the same name set in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead more than 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale.

The Handmaid’s Tale lead Elisabeth Moss will also executive produce the project. As Deadline previously reported, the hope is for Moss to guest star in the sequel, reprising the role of June Osbourne, who is linked to Agnes and Daisy. With The Handmaid’s Tale set to premiere its final season on April 8, appearances from June will depend on whether she survives the rebellion unless they opt to go the flashback route.

The Testaments also rounds out its cast with 9 new actors: Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies,...

Los más seriéfilos sabrán lo buen mes que ha sido marzo con el estreno de dos de las mejores series del año: Adolescencia, el hit de Netflix del que todo el mundo habla, y The Studio, la divertidísima sátira de Apple TV+ sobre la industria del cine de la que debería hablar más gente. Ahora, cruzamos los dedos para que abril sea igual de bueno (aunque el listón está bastante alto). Aquí tienes los estrenos a los que no hay que perder de vista:

Kevin Bacon y entes demoniacos: ¿dónde hay que firmar? En esta nueva serie, Bacon es Hub Halloran, un cazarrecompensas asesinado que es traído de vuelta a la vida por el mismísimo Diablo para atrapar a los demonios que han logrado escapar del Infierno.

April is here, and that means there's new shows and seasons premiering on streamers, including Hulu. It's a bit of a slower month, but there's still some exciting additions to come that we can look forward to. If you need a reality fix, there's a new season of Vanderpump Villa. There's also comedy special Jessica Kirson: I’m the Man, and an all-new game show, Got to Get Out.

However if you're like me and prefer scripted shows, that's honestly what I'm most looking forward to. And there's three dramatic ones, including The Handmaid's Tale season 6, coming to Hulu in April 2025. Check out the list below!

Dying for SexRelease date: Friday, April 4, 2025Episode count: 8 episodes (binge)Cast: Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate, Rob Delaney, Jay Duplass, Kelvin Yu, David Rasche, Esco Jouléy, and Sissy Spacek

Starring Michelle Williams in the lead role, Dying for Sex is originally a FX series.

Times may be bleak, but at least we’ll be getting to spend more time in the horrific, not-too-far-off-from-our-own-world Gilead of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Not only will the show be returning in April for its sixth and final season, but a spin-off series based on author Margaret Atwood’s 2019 sequel, “The Testaments,” is also in the works at Hulu. While Ann Dowd has already been revealed to be reprising her role of Aunt Lydia, joined by new cast members Chase Infiniti, Rowen Blanchard, and Lucy Halliday, IndieWire can exclusively announce that actress/writer/director Amy Seimetz will also be appearing in the show as a series regular.

A source close to the project shared that Seimetz will be playing Paula, step-mother to Agnes, the daughter of June Osborne (Elizabeth Moss) and Luke Bankole (O-t Fagbenle), formerly known as Hannah. In the novel version of “The Testaments,” which is set 15 years after “The Handmaid’s Tale,...

Hulu is ready with an entertainment-packed April this year. The upcoming month will see the release of the brilliant comedy-drama series Dying for Sex and the epic conclusion of the tragedy thriller drama series The Handmaid’s Tale. Just like every month, Hulu is ready to overload you with great content. So, we’re here to tell you about the 7 new movies and TV shows coming to Hulu in April 2025.

Dying for Sex is an upcoming comedy-drama series created by Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock. Based on the podcast series of the same name by Nikki Boyer, the FX series follows Molly, a middle-aged woman who is diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Soon after finding out that she doesn’t have much time to live, she ends her marriage of 15 years and tries to explore her sexuality.

With an abundance of shows and movies on the platform, Hulu always has a slew of options for its subscribers to choose from. While there might not be a ton of new series arriving in April, that doesn’t mean the streaming service is lacking when it comes to quality. In fact, there’s one particular original series slated to return for its final season that viewers most definitely won’t want to miss.

With comedy, drama, and even reality television, Hulu is bound to have something almost any viewer would love. Even if audiences have yet to see previous seasons of the shows slated to return, there’s still plenty of time to catch up on old episodes before the new ones premiere. The choices in April might not be excessive, but there’s still plenty for viewers to enjoy on the streaming platform next month.
