The revolution is here teases the sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale which premieres April 8th on Hulu and was filmed in Toronto.
They believed that these garments they put on our bodies told the world who we are. To mark us they put us in red, the colour of blood. They forgot that it’s also the colour of rage. The dress became our uniform and we became an army.
The Handmaid’s Tale is June’s story, adapted from and inspired by Margaret Atwood’s novel.
The Hulu series began in a dystopian future, with young wife and mother June Osborne (Elizabeth Moss) forced to live as a concubine to Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) and his wife Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) under the fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship of Gilead.
At the end of season 4, June killed Commander Fred Waterford, the man who’d enslaved her, and escaped to Toronto with her baby Nichole, fathered by her boyfriend Nick Blaine (Max Minghella) not the Commander. There she stays with her OG husband Luke Bankole (O-T Fagbenle).
How did season 5 end?
June is on the run again, after Luke violently attacked the Gilead sympathizer who tried to run down June with his truck. Luke turns himself in at the Toronto station so that June and baby Nichole can board a train of Gilead refugees headed west to Vancouver. On the train, the former handmaid sees her adversary Serena Waterford and baby son Noah among the refugees in a full circle moment.
“You got a diaper?” Serena asks.
Bradley Whitford’s Commander Lawrence and Elizabeth Moss ‘s June.
