Season 4 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” dropped on Hulu on April 28, nearly two years since the last season due to the pandemic shutdown. It follows June as she leads a revolution against Gilead. In the first week after its premiere, the new season received 1 million views across the United States in its first week on Hulu.
