With plans untangling and loyalties fluctuating, the drama is only just accelerating.

Release date & time for The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 8
Fans of The Handmaid’s Tale only have to wait a week as Episode 8 of Season 6 is officially set to air on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
For fans living in the US, the episode airs at 12 a.m. Eastern Time / 9 p.m. Pacific Time (on May 12). This on-the-dot release schedule lines up with Hulu’s weekly release timetable for the final season of the show.
Fans can also anticipate Episode 8 to have a runtime of about 50-52 minutes, continuing the show’s average length for unravelling character arcs and exposing layered plot progressions.
As this is the series’ final season, the pacing has accelerated as compared to the previous seasons, and each Tuesday episode is important to watch for bridging the varying storylines that surround characters like Nick, June, Serena, and the rest.
The latest events, as seen in previous episodes, have drastically reshaped what’s at stake, particularly as trust is negotiated with and power dynamics change both in and outside of Gilead.
Streaming details: Where to watch The Handmaid’s Tale
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 8 is currently available exclusively on the streaming platform Hulu for the U.S.
Hulu is the main home of the show, and subs can watch the new episode as soon as it drops at midnight Eastern time.
For fans who aren’t currently subscribed to the platform, Hulu offers more than a few membership levels: the advertisement-supported plan for $9.99/month, an advertisement-free version at $18.99/month, and merged live TV bundles starting at $82.99/month.
International fans need not worry as they, too, have streaming access.
For Australian fans, the episode will be streaming on SBS On Demand. In the UK, Amazon Prime is the company that has acquired the streaming rights for The Handmaid’s Tale, allowing British fans to follow the show’s ups and downs without any inconvenience.
If you're planning to stream on Hulu, SBS On Demand, or Prime and haven’t yet set up an account, now’s the right time to do so to avoid missing out on the latest twists and turns in Gilead.
What to expect in Episode 8 & the latest on The Handmaid’s Tale
Episode 8, titled Exodus, alludes to bold moves and unfathomable consequences.
The official synopsis for the episode reads;
“June and Moira execute their dangerous plan. Serena makes a big commitment.”
This brief synopsis implies that the stakes will amplify for both of the characters, particularly as strains between personal ethics and survival continue to conflict with each other.
As seen in Episode 7, June, with Moira and Luke, has by now already taken intense steps in trying to pull apart Gilead.
Meanwhile, Serena is now at a pivotal crossroads. With her marriage to Commander Wharton, her next choice could establish whether she reshapes Gilead or further entraps herself in its rule.
Episode 8 might just revisit Aunt Lydia’s reckoning with her past, and Nick’s ongoing struggle between being complicit and his conscience.
With only a few episodes left for this Emmy-winning show, The Handmaid’s Tale continues to test its characters with moral tests and urgent outcomes with consequences.
As The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 crawls closer to its conclusion, Episode 8 promises to bring on an important arc.
With strategic plans and emotional stakes increasing every second, fans can look forward to an episode rich with anxiety and revelations.
Make sure to catch Exodus on Hulu next Tuesday.
