THE HANDMAID’S TALE Final Season Filming in Pickering Ont.

The Handmaid’s Tale filmed some scenes for its final season at the end of last month.

Set in a totalitarian society where women are subjugated. The series is an adaption of Margaret Atwood’s bestselling novel and stars Elisabeth Moss as the resilient June. The final season will delve deeper into the complex relationships and power struggles within Gilead. It will offer a thrilling and emotional conclusion to the series.

It has been awhile since we visited Gilead so let’s review where we left off with this recap from Tvline.

After June was run over by a car (at Gilead’s behest), Luke found and beat the driver, who later died. Knowing that their status as refugees — a hated population in some Canadians’ eyes — meant Luke was unable to get a fair trial/evade vigilante justice, June decided that they had to run. Tuello helped get the family tickets on a refugee transport west, but when officials swarmed the train station looking for Luke, he turned himself over in order to give June and Nichole a chance to get away. Once aboard, a devastated June was shocked to find out that Serena — who’d spent the season essentially as a handmaid to a young Gilead couple — and her baby son, Noah, also were fleeing.

Elsewhere, Nick agreed to be an American spy in Gilead, but was taken into custody after he punched Commander Lawrence for his part in the attack on June. Lawrence married Naomi Putnam, and they planned to have Janine as their handmaid. But when Janine found out what happened to June, she screamed her hatred at Naomi and was summarily taken away by the Eyes — to the surprise of Aunt Lydia, whose protests on the younger woman’s behalf were ignored.

Filming Locations

Filming for the show recently brought the production to Pickering, Ontario for two days of filming. On the 27-28 September filming took place around 8^th Concession Road.

The Handmaid’s Tale has significantly contributed to Canada’s thriving film and TV industry. The series is critically acclaimed with several Golden Globes and Emmys wins. It also serves to highlight the talent and production capabilities of Canadian studios.

The Final Season is set to air sometime in 2025. That won’t be the end to the world of The Handmaid’s tale though. A series based on the sequel The Testaments is currently in development.
