The Handmaid's Tale Season 5 Cast: Who Will Feature In The New Season?

The Handmaid's Tale season 5 cast will reportedly see some old characters from the series along with the leads. The new season of the show is likely to release soon in 2022 and the fans already have a few theories in mind.

The Handmaid's Tale began streaming in 2017 and is based on a novel by the same name by Margaret Atwood. The series features the post Civil war era of America and a fictional society that is burdened by the decreasing fertility which has led to the exploitation of women as child bearing slaves. The fertile women from lower classes are captured, trapped, tortured and abused in order to fulfill the demands of the upper class. The show has had four season in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 respectively and was renewed for a fifth season in December 2020. Hence, the fans are expecting the return of the series somewhere soon in 2022.

The Handmaid's Tale Season 5 Cast : Who Features In The New Season?

The Handmaid's Tale season 4 ended on a gruesome yet a satisfying note where we saw June Osborne or Offred finally gaining control over Gileadan Commander Fred Waterford. She joins hands with former Handmaids and together they were successful in killing Waterford and hanging his corpse to the wall. To make the revenge complete, they wrote "Nolite te bastardes carburondorum." on wall which means 'Don't let the bastards grind you down'. It was a perfect looking revenge, however, it won't go without repercussions.

Season 5 will possibly feature how the murder of the Commander affects her life, choices and what impact they would have on her husband Luke. Not to forget, we also have Serena Waterford who is pregnant and still unaware of husband's death and her fallout will also possibly be mentioned. Hence, we can expect seeing Elisabeth Moss as June, Yvonne Strahovski playing Serena, Joseph Fiennes as Commander Waterford who is dead but we'll reportedly see him as stated by creator Bruce Miller himself. Besides them we also have Luke, June's husband played by O. T. Fagbenle and Moira Strand, June's best friend played by Samira Wiley.

The season 5 is likely to return to Hulu in 2022 but there has not been any confirmations from makers. However, it is reportedly hinted that season 5 won't be the last season of the series as there is a lot more left to unravel.
