What to expect from Season 4 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’
Perhaps the biggest change in the upcoming season of The Handmaid’s Tale is the setting. Typically, June Osborne’s (Moss) story takes place in the Boston area in Gilead.
This season, June will be on the run and moving around. The trailers hint that June travels to Chicago and possibly makes it to Canada, and the episode title for Season 4 Episode 5 confirms Chicago will be featured.
During a Television Critics Association panel, producer Warren Littlefield confirmed the setting of the show will be a huge change for viewers.
“In Season 4, we have no home based. Seasons 1 and 2 was the Waterford House… And then there was Commander Lawrence’s house,” he said according to The Wrap. “And in Season 4, we’re nomadic. We are following June’s passion, her drive, her relentless pursuit for change and that takes us everywhere. We’re out on the road, there is no home base.”
