The Handmaid's Tale viewers have expressed their concern for June Osborne (played by Elisabeth Moss) after a new teaser for the sixth and final series dropped. In the trailer, June can be seen wearing a Martha's clothing and talking about how the red cloaks handmaids were forced to wear became a uniform. June is heard noting red became the colour of rage and the handmaids are ready for revenge.
Blink-and-you-'ll-miss-them moments see the handmaids marching off to a battle, an Aunt fighting, Luke (O-T Fagbenle) with a gun, and in one chilling moment, a handmaid being walked towards a noose. Fans have been quick to pick up on the scene with one asking: "Is it June getting executed?" On Reddit, another fan posted: "There’s a part in the trailer where June is definitely back in Gilead as a handmaid and she looks like she is on stage about to be hung in front of a crowd(I think people of NB). "I believe she will be saved before she is hung bc the crowd starts attacking Gilead folks.
I think during this attack, Luke will likely be killed." Someone else theorised: "It will be sad, but I definitely think June will be killed in front of Hannah/Agnes, the foreshadowing has been there since season 1. But this will spark something in Hannah/Agnes leading into the new The Testaments series.
" Elisabeth Moss has told fans the spin-off series The Testaments will pick up straight after The Handmaid's Tale comes to an end so if fans are correct, June's death could be the catalyst for Hannah to try and escape Gilead. However, if The Testaments remains true to the book then fans will know June is alive. It remains to be seen if the Hulu series will deviate from Margaret Atwood's novel.
Meanwhile, Elisabeth has shared what fans can expect from the Nick, June and Luke love triangle. Speaking to Deadine, she explained: "I do not think she wants a blended family with Luke and Nick. I don’t think she wants them in the same room.
"She also loves Luke, and there is so much there that is beautiful and but they need to rebuild their relationship, Luke and June, and they do. "I think this season, I do think there’s a lot of rebuilding that happens. Undeniably, though, she’s never going to be able to forget Nick, and she’s never going to be able to not love him, and that makes good television.
" Elisabeth concluded: "I mean, if she just was able to be like, ‘I’m so sorry. I feel like we’re not in a good place, and we should move on,’ and be really healthy about it, that’d be super boring." The Handmaid's Tale season 6 is airing on Hulu now.
