The Hollywood Reporter announces that the series has been renewed for a sixth season.

However, the sixth season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” will be its last.

[{"selector":"#anim-0c585b37-28ba-4419-94c8-810fe7ccad1c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fd52338-6627-4cb6-857f-adf261045c3c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6ba89bf7-a28e-4194-a1de-c41e6272d553","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Instead, it will make room for “The Testaments,” a sequel to the show.
