After eight years and 66 episodes, The Handmaid's Talehas come to an end with season 6 as audiences left behind Elizabeth Moss's June Osborne, and her ordeals in the horrors of Gilead. While the Hulu series initially began as a direct adaptation of Margaret Atwood's terrifyingly relevant 1985 novel in 2017, The Handmaid's Tale quickly built upon those foundations to not only show further ways Gilead's theonomic tyranny damaged lives, but how people could fight it. As such, The Handmaid's Tale's cast grew beyond the confines of June's story.
