On May 3, season six of The Handmaid's Tale was aired in the UK on Channel 4 and Prime Video, and so far through it's weekly episode releases, viewers have seen the first eight episodes. That means we're less than a fortnight away from episode 10 airing and us watching the finale of the show we've spent so many years with.

These days, we've become used to our favourite prestige shows airing at the same time as the UK (2am The White Lotus finale anyone?) but in the case of The Handmaid's Tale, the US aired significantly earlier than the UK, so episode 10 of The Handmaid's Tale has already been shown over there. So do be careful of finding accidental spoilers on the internet.

With eight episodes down and two more to go, and episodes being released every Saturday, British viewers will have to wait just a little longer, until Saturday July 5 to finally watch the finale, episode 10, of The Handmaid's Tale.

However, in the US, the finale aired on May 27. They got to the end of the series quicker because over in America, on Hulu, they dropped the first three episodes all together in the first week.
