Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic dystopian novel
The Handmaid’s Tale will get a fifth season, Disney announced yesterday during its Investor’s Day. The announcement comes ahead of the show’s return in 2021.
The series has earned considerable acclaim for the streaming service, which had planned to release season four earlier this year. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the show’s production at the start of 2020, and prompted Hulu to push it back to 2021. It hasn’t said when the show will return, nor was that apparent in the announcement around the fifth season’s order.
