HuluThe Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 4, ‘Promotion’, is just around the corner. So you don’t miss a thing, here’s exactly what time to expect it on Hulu, as well as details on the upcoming episodes.
The streaming service dropped the first three episodes for its premiere, showing June and Serena walking down very separate paths after their train journey out of Gilead went awry (fellow refugees found out Serena’s identity).
In Season 6 Episode 3, Serena is heading up Gilead’s “liberalized” territory, New Bethlehem. Meanwhile, June is finally reunited with Moira and Luke thanks to the ever-faithful Nick. But their escape from No Man’s Land didn’t come without its issues – Nick had to kill two guardians.

If you’re curious about the elusive finale, co-showrunners Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang told ScreenRant that it will provide a satisfying conclusion to the story while also leaving a cliffhanger wide open for the upcoming spinoff series, The Testaments, to explore.
“I think fans should expect an honest, emotional, and authentic ending for June’s journey,” Tuchman said. “If they’ve stuck with her from the beginning, I think they’ll be very understanding about where she ends up.”
