The Handmaid's Tale season 6 has wrapped in the US, but here's where to watch episode 6 in the UK

Independent04-06-2025
The final season of The Handmaid's Tale is slowly creeping toward its end. Episode 6, Janine, just dropped on Channel 4 and Prime Video, and it's a brutal one. Elizabeth Moss 's June and Moira go undercover at Jezebel's, a mission that quickly spirals into violence. The fallout? We're about to find out.
If you're watching in the UK, we're still a few episodes behind the US, where the finale has already aired on Hulu (a subscription service only available in the US – or with the use of a VPN). But with episode six airing later this week, we're edging closer to the end – and to the adaptation of Margaret Atwood 's The Testaments, the Booker-prize -winning sequel.
Episode 6 is set to air on Channel 4 and Amazon Prime Video at 10pm on Sunday 8 June, a day later than usual. Whether you're waiting for the next episode, or just looking to catch up on every episode so far, here's where you can watch The Handmaid's Tale in the UK.
Where to watch 'The Handmaid's Tale' in the UK
Episode 5 started streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Channel 4 on Sunday, 1 June. The show used to air on Saturdays, but since episode 4, it's now got a regular Sunday 10pm slot. Episode 6 will also begin streaming on Sunday, 8 June, at the same time, airing first on Channel 4 before landing on Prime Video shortly after.
If you want to watch The Handmaid's Tale without ads, you'll need an Amazon Prime subscription. A regular membership costs £9.99 per month. But if you haven't been an Amazon Prime member in the last 12 months, you can also sign up for a 30-day free trial, which gives you all the perks of a Prime membership, including free next-day delivery. On top of that, Amazon Prime Video has seasons one to five in its back catalogue if you want to catch up before the season premiere.
If you're not a Prime subscriber but still want to watch the show without adverts, you can sign up for Channel 4+. It costs £3.99 per month or £39.99 annually. Like Amazon Prime, Channel 4+ also offers all of the previous seasons of the show.
How to watch 'The Handmaid's Tale' in the US
Viewers in the US have been able to watch The Handmaid's Tale for months, and it's already finished airing on US streaming service Hulu, which is not available in the UK and can only be accessed with the help of a trusted VPN. The show's 10-episode run ended at the end of May.
A subscription to Hulu costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, while a Hulu subscription without the ads costs $18.99 per month.
What is The Handmaid's Tale season 6 about?
Without giving away any spoilers, Hulu's official synopsis for the sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale states that June's 'unyielding spirit and determination pull her back into the fight to take down Gilead. Luke and Moira join the resistance. Serena tries to reform Gilead while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia reckon with what they have wrought, and Nick faces challenging tests of character. This final chapter of June's journey highlights the importance of hope, courage, solidarity, and resilience in the pursuit of justice and freedom.'
Season six's showrunner Yahlin Chang also revealed in an interview with TV Insider that the upcoming adaptation of The Testaments will also be teased in the sixth season. 'There will be cliffhangers for The Testaments,' she said. 'Any fans that are left wanting more are going to get more in The Testaments, which will be great for them. But [ The Handmaid's Tale ] does conclude – in some very satisfying ways – many of the storylines, but not every single one.'

Admissions jump at Everyman cinema chain despite ‘challenging' backdrop

Cinema chain Everyman has revealed that sales surged by more than a fifth over the past year following a jump in admissions and higher ticket prices. Boss Alex Scrimgeour hailed the performance over the first half of 2025, saying it reflected the 'successful execution' of Everyman's growth strategy. Shares in the company rose in early trading on Monday morning as a result. The company said it is trading in line with its forecasts for the full year, despite a 'challenging economic environment'. It told shareholders on Monday that group revenues rose by 21% to £56.5 million for the half-year to July 3, compared with a year earlier. This was supported by a 15% jump in admissions to 2.2 million for the half-year. It was among cinema groups to have been boosted by major new releases over the period including Thunderbolts, A Minecraft Movie and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. The chain said the average price paid for a ticket rose 6% to £12.46, while there was also a 5.9% increase on the amount spent by customers on food and drinks. Everyman currently runs 48 cinemas across the UK, after growing further with the opening of its latest venue in Brentford in March. It plans one further opening this year at The Whiteley in Bayswater next month. The UK's fourth biggest cinema operator said it will open two more venues next year and highlighted a 'strong pipeline' of future developments as it continues with expansion efforts. Mr Scrimgeour, the former Cote restaurant boss, said: 'Our performance in the first half reflects the successful execution of our strategy, with growth across all key metrics and ongoing delivery of our measured expansion programme. 'This is driven by Everyman's unique brand of high-quality, experience-led cinema. 'We look forward to building on this momentum in the second half of the year.' Shares in the company were 6.6% higher in early trading.

I moaned at my neighbour for his security camera looking into my garden & he add ANOTHER one -it feels like Big Brother

DO you think you've got neighbours from hell? Well, prepare to be stunned as a frustrated man gets candid on his latest 'creepy' ordeal. A stunned man from the UK has recently revealed that after relaxing in his garden, he noticed his neighbour had a security camera which was pointing directly into his outside space. 2 2 Annoyed with the ' nosy ' behaviour, the young man who posts online under the username 'Scooobz 13', confronted the guy next door. But much to his surprise, rather than simply move the camera or point it in another direction, his ' neighbour from hell' decided to install a second camera. Posting on social media, the content creator shared a short clip as he sat in his garden, giving his followers a close-up look at his neighbour's motion detector device. Alongside the clip, the man attached an audio that said: 'Ask our neighbour to respect our privacy - his solution? More surveillance. 'Welcome to the reality show I didn't sign up for.' Not only this, but the man, who feels like he's on Big Brother, then wrote: 'When you politely ask your neighbour not to film in your garden, so he naturally installs a second one.' As well as this, in another video, the man zoomed in on the security camera and asked: 'Is this weird or is it me? The only thing he can view is me in my garden.' As he showed off his outside area, which was being spied on by his neighbour, he fumed: 'Here I am, sat in my garden and look at that there - staring right at me.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ scoobz_13, has clearly left many gobsmacked, as in just three days, it has quickly racked up 99,100 views, 1,073 likes and 307 comments. Social media users were horrified by the neighbour's camera and many flocked to the comments to share their advice.
