Where can I watch The Handmaid’s Tale?
For American viewers, the first episode of The Handmaid’s Tale began airing on Hulu on September 14.
Unfortunately, it’s a little trickier for UK fans to tune into the show this year. Over in the US, you can catch the show on Hulu as it airs, but it’s currently unavailable across the pond.
The show will be available on Channel 4, though there is no release date yet, meaning that fans will have to wait around. The last four seasons are also available on Amazon Prime, suggesting that the fifth season will eventually make its way to the streaming platform, too.

The Handmaid’s Tale focuses on the dystopian world of Gilead, a totalitarian society that used to be the United States of America. In this world, women are treated as the property of the state and have lost their rights.
The show follows on the character of June; a woman living in Gilead who is married to an officer. We see June as she is forced to live in this world and obey her husband, along with the myriad of other female characters that are oppressed in Gilead.
