The Handmaid’s Tale is coming back for more!

The hit dystopian Hulu series has been renewed for a fourth season, Variety reported on Friday (July 26).

The last three episodes of the show’s third season have not yet aired yet, but it’s already getting a fourth season! It is the most-watched show on Hulu, according to the streaming service.

The show won a series of Emmys for its first season, including Best Drama Series. Elisabeth Moss also won the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role as Offred.

The third season of The Handmaid’s Tale is not eligible at the 2019 Emmy Awards as it missed the cut-off date, so you might be wondering how the show got nominations this year.

The first season of the Hulu series was eligible back in 2017 and won eight awards. The second season picked up three awards in 2018.

The Handmaid’s Tale‘s second season was still airing when the the Emmy eligibility period ended on May 31, 2018. There were three episodes that missed the cut-off date to be eligible for nominations last year, so those individual episodes were eligible in 2019.

Bradley Whitford received a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, Cherry Jones was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, and Daina Reid was nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. The episodes that were eligible this year were 211, 212, and 213.

Season three will be eligible for awards in 2020.

Other big shows that missed the cut-off date included Stranger Things and Big Little Lies.

Bradley Whitford is sharing his thoughts on the Handmaid’s Tale themed party that Kylie Jenner threw for a friend’s birthday the other day.

The 59-year-old actor, who stars on the Hulu series, opened up during an appearance on The Talk on Tuesday (June 11) in Los Angeles.

“Seems a little tacky,” Bradley said. “That costume is so kind of iconic, and it’s interesting how it’s changed from initially a sort of symbol of oppression – to now, as the show is moving ahead to a symbol of resistance. So, yeah, cocktail party seems to sort of dash all that significance.”

Amy Schumer says it’s time for her to stop watching one of her favorite shows.

The 38-year-old comedian and actress took to Instagram on Tuesday (June 4) to share a photo of herself and a sleeping baby Gene saying that she can no longer watch The Handmaid’s Tale.

“Oh ok so I can’t watch handmaids anymore. #filledwithregret,” Amy captioned the below photo while cuddling up with her newborn son.

If you didn’t know, Handmaid’s Tale is about a group of women that are used solely to reproduce.

The first few episodes of season three of The Handmaid’s Tale are available for streaming now on Hulu.

The third season of The Handmaid’s Tale is just hours away and over 50 photos from the first three episodes of the new season have been released.

Elisabeth Moss is back as June/Offred, alongside returning cast members Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovski, Max Minghella, and more.

Season three of the hit Hulu series is driven by June’s resistance to the dystopian regime of Gilead and her struggle to strike back against overwhelming odds. Startling reunions, betrayals, and a journey to the terrifying heart of Gilead force all characters to take a stand, guided by one defiant prayer: “Blessed be the fight.”

Hulu is debuting the first three episodes of the season at 12:01am ET on Wednesday (June 5).

Elisabeth Moss is back as Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale season three trailer!

Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values’. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.

Alexis Bledel, Samira Wiley, Ann Dowd, Max Minghella, Madeline Brewer, and more also star.

The new season debuts on June 5.

Season three of The Handmaid’s Tale will debut in June with some all-new episodes!

Specifically, three brand new episodes will drop on June 5 on Hulu, THR reports.

The Elisabeth Moss-starrer has previously debuted in April for the past two seasons, so this is a bit of a departure.

There’s some thought that producers purposefully pushed back the season three start date to avoid having to submit for the 2019 Emmy Awards (the cutoff for the Emmys is June 1). Game of Thrones‘ final season will likely be competing for lots of awards during this upcoming Emmys broadcast, and some believe that could be behind the motivation to push back The Handmaid’s Tale.
