The showrunner teases what's ahead in the final stretch of the Hulu drama.
As June Osborne’s (Elisabeth Moss) final fight against the oppressive Gilead regime commences, she won’t be working alone. In fact, she’ll have more allies than ever this time around.
“This is the season where our characters and the people of Gilead — and specifically the women of Gilead — have had enough,” Chang said. “They stand up and declare, ‘No more.’ They’ve been through trauma. They’ve been through hell. But they really find the strength in themselves to really take it to the man and to fight back. … They’re pushed to the limit, and they’re going to rise up and rebel. So the theme is rebellion. We finally, finally get to full-scale rebellion.”
According to Chang, knowing this was the final season gave them the creative freedom to make some new narrative choices. “It was really kind of a wish-fulfillment season for us. It was our chance to do everything we’ve always wanted to see and haven’t yet had. We wanted it to be extremely rewarding,” she explained
There will still be some open ends, of course, with the spinoff The Testaments now in production. “For sure, there will be cliffhangers for The Testaments, so it doesn’t conclude everything,” Chang explained. “So any fans that are left wanting more are going to get more in The Testaments, which will be great for them. But it does conclude in some very satisfying ways many of the storylines, but not every single one.”
