The Handmaid's Tale: What Happens To June In The Book

Hulu's adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale has gone well beyond Margaret Atwood's source material, but what happens to June, and how does The Handmaid's Tale book end? The Hulu Handmaid's Tale TV show significantly expanded the world of the 1985 novel, with characters much more fleshed out and the narrative from seasons 1-6 covering significantly more events. It's especially expanded the role of its protagonist, June Osborne, a.k.a. Offred, played by Elisabeth Moss. The Handmaid's Tale book, just like the show, takes place in a dystopian version of America, with the country overtaken by a religious sect called Gilead following the Second American Civil War.
