The Hulu television series The Handmaid’s Tale has 66 total episodes.
The series ran for six seasons, premiering in 2017 and concluding with its sixth and final season in 2025. Across those seasons, the episode count is 66, making the television adaptation substantially larger than the 1985 novel on which it began.
The first season contained 10 episodes, while later seasons varied in length. Season two had 13 episodes, season three had 13, season four had 10, and season five had 10. The final season brought the cumulative total to 66.
The show expanded far beyond the novel’s ending, developing June’s resistance, the political structure of Gilead, and the lives of characters who receive little or no narrative space in Atwood’s book. A separate sequel series, The Testaments, is based on Atwood’s 2019 novel and is not included in this total.
