Editor's note: This post contains spoilers about Season 6 of "The Handmaid's Tale."
As Season 6 of"The Handmaid's Tale" inches towards its conclusion, June (Elisabeth Moss), her husband Luke (O-T Fagbenle), and best friend Moira (Samira Wiley) have finally put their plans to take down Gilead into action.
While the trio successfully managed to infiltrate Jezebel and meet up with Janine (Madeline Brewer), whose help they need to destroy Gilead, Episode 5 ended on a cliffhanger, as it is unknown if they managed to make it out with the intel safely. Meanwhile, Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) and Commander Wharton (Josh Charles) got engaged after he proposed to her.
In the final season of the Emmy-winning drama series, June will fight to take down Gilead with Luke and Moira joining the resistance, per Hulu. Serena, meanwhile, "tries to reform Gilead while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) reckon with what they have wrought, and Nick (Max Minghella) faces challenging tests of character."
"This final chapter of June’s journey highlights the importance of hope, courage, solidarity, and resilience in the pursuit of justice and freedom," this season's synopsis says.
Adapted from Canadian authorMargaret Atwood's 1985 novelof the same name, "The Handmaid’s Tale" is about "the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States," according to the series synopsis.
June/Offred, one of the few fertile women in the oppressive Republic of Gilead, known as Handmaids, "struggles to survive as a reproductive surrogate for a powerful Commander and his resentful wife."
