The sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale is finally here, meaning the horrors of Gilead flashing across our screens is finally coming to an end (well, until the inevitable re-watch, that is). It’s been over two years since the finale of season 5 aired and in that time, the anticipation for season 6 has grown to the size of a Canadian rescue plane.

We were left on quite the cliffhanger at the end of season 5 with June and Serena both escaping on a train headed out west, Luke being hauled off by the Canadian authorities, Janine being taken away from the Lawrence’s household, and Nick being detained after punching Commander Lawrence in the face. Oh, and who could forget the failed attempt to raid the school Hannah goes to (Hannah, by the way, is STILL stuck in Gilead).

There’s so much that has to happen in season 6 and I, for one, cannot wait. If you’re in the same boat and need to know exactly when each episode of season 6 is coming out, we’ve got all the info down below.

When does The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 premiere?

Season 6 premieres on Hulu on April 8. It’s technically premiering at midnight EST on the 8th, but 9 p.m. PST on the 7th. The premiere is not one, not two, but three episodes dropping at the same time. It’s a nice little gift from the powers that be before they start making us wait week after week for the next episode to air.

How many episodes are in The Handmaid’s Tale season 6?

For the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, we’re sadly not getting any extra episodes, but the good news is we’re not getting any fewer, either. There will be exactly 10 episodes this season, leaving us with roughly 10 hours to wrap up this terrifying(ly realistic) saga. I don’t know about you but I’m both sad and somewhat relieved for it to be coming to an end.
