Escaping Gilead! The Handmaid's Tale Podcast (Episode 601)

We’re back in Gilead (and beyond) for the highly anticipated final season of The Handmaid’s Tale! Join hosts Paul and Caroline as we kick off our podcast coverage of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 1, “Train,” airing April 8, 2025.

This episode picks up immediately where Season 5 left off, with June and Serena unexpectedly traveling westward together—on a train speeding out of Toronto. Tense, emotionally charged, and full of the unexpected alliances and power plays the show is known for, “Train” sets the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable final chapter.

In this episode of the podcast, we break down all the twists and character dynamics, explore where June and Serena might be heading—both literally and metaphorically—and speculate on what lies ahead as the story barrels toward its endgame.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just jumping on the train (pun fully intended), we’re here to guide you through every moment, every betrayal, and every flicker of hope in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6.
