The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 soundtrack guide: A complete list of the music in the Elizabeth-Moss starrer Hulu series

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6, which is the final season of the show, premiered on April 8, 2025. Based on Canadian writer Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, the official synopsis of the show, as per Rotten Tomatoes, mentions,

“This series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate.”

The synopsis further mentions,

“In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.”

The final season of The Handmaid’s Tale saw the fight against Gilead, highlighted by amazing acting by the talented cast, and the soundtrack of the season that heightened the effect of the drama.

Adam Taylor has arranged and composed the soundtrack for the final season as he has done since Season 1. The music this season is especially important because of the suspense and drama inherent in the screenplay. The rebellion comes in full force, and powerful background music along with the right songs has only intensified the storyline.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 used Look What You Made Me Do – Taylor’s Version by Taylor Swift before the release of Reputation (Taylor's Version), which naturally caused excitement among the fans. The song perfectly went along with the theme of the particular episode it was used in, highlighting the rebellious spirit of the whole season.

Below is a detailed guide of the soundtrack of the final chapter of the show.
