We can tell you how to watch The Handmaid's Tale Season 4 online right now. After debuting with three episodes on day one, we're now up to episode six with the final four episodes arriving each Wednesday between now June 16. 

That means that anytime from now if you sign up to Hulu you can watch The Handmaid's Tale season 4 for free.

At a mere $5.99 a month after the free trial ends you might end up wanting to keep the service (but you can cancel before you start paying or at any time after).

Living outside the US? Channel 4 in the UK has just confirmed season 4 of The Handmaid's Tale will be coming "in June". Nothing else has been confirmed outside of the US, but we can tell you how to catch up on the first three seasons while we await confirmation.

The show first aired in 2017, an adaptation of the critically acclaimed 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood. Elisabeth Moss, who made her name as Peggy in Mad Men, plays Offred. She's a handmaiden, one of the few fertile women left in the land of Gilead and so forced to act as a surrogate for a high-ranking government official. As the series progresses, we learn who she was before the regime brought about its terrible and oppressive new rules regarding gender, sexuality and freedom, and see the seeds of rebellion blossom within her. 

It doesn't matter whether you've read the books or not, because the first series is a faithful and electrifying ride through the stories, and the follow-up seasons have shown no signs of letting up. So step right up, and check the information below to find out how to watch The Handmaid's Tale online.
