- Margaret Atwood’s classic book, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has evolved into a hit series starring Elisabeth Moss.
- Season 3 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is available to stream as of June 5, so you can watch seasons 1 through 3 on the streaming platform now.
- Here’s how to sign up for Hulu and watch the popular show.
Season 3 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is available to watch as of June 5, so whether you want to see the entire series for the first time, you want to catch up on earlier seasons, or you just want to see the latest episodes, you’re in luck. Seasons 1 through 3 are now streaming on Hulu.
If you don’t have Hulu yet, but you want to keep up with the latest trials and tribulations of Gilead, here’s what you’ll need to do.
1. Head over to Hulu
While you could buy one-off episodes from a number of other platforms (like Amazon Prime or YouTube), the easiest way to actually stream the series is on Hulu.
2. Sign up for your free trial
Once you're on the Hulu website, select "Start Your Free Trial." You'll receive one month free to try the service. If you select the most popular basic plan, you'll be charged a monthly subscription fee starting at $5.99 after the trial ends.
3. Select your plan
You'll select your plan during your trial period, but once that first month has lapsed, you could always choose to upgrade or downgrade. For $5.99 a month, you'll be able to stream Hulu shows and movies with ads; for $11.99 a month, you'll rid yourself of ads; for $44.99 a month, you'll get both Hulu and live TV.
4. Find "The Handmaid's Tale"
Seasons 1 through 3 are available to stream on Hulu, so once you've signed up for your trial or your subscription, you're ready to start watching!
5. Alternatively, watch one-off episodes
If you don't want to pay a monthly fee, you could instead buy individual episodes of "The Handmaid's Tale" or the entire season from Amazon or iTunes. We wouldn't recommend this option, though - not only is it much more expensive, but it also won't grant you immediate access to season 3 now that it has started airing.
