Here are seven figures whose journeys demand a proper resolution before we say goodbye.
The Handmaids Taleis delivering its sixth and final season on Hulu.
After years of white knuckles and racing hearts, fans can finally see how this harrowing story concludes.
Hulu
Not necessarily happy endings this show has never been about happiness but endings that feel emotionally true.
Here are seven characters who desperately need meaningful closure before we say our last blessed be the fruit.
Five seasons later, her survival has gone from rescue to revenge.
Freedom clearly wasnt enough she still needs to find her daughter Hannah and get her out of Gilead.
But what Junes ending needs isnt a neat bow.
That would betray everything the show has built.
Hulu
Her closure needs to address whether someone can ever truly escape Gilead when it lives inside their head.
Can June exist without her rage?
Can she be a mother again without the shadow of what she lost?
Hulu
Serena Joy Waterford
Talk about complicated.
Serena wrote books advocating for womens subservience, then seemed surprised when that cage included her, too.
The architect became another prisoner.
Hulu
Viewers have hated her, pitied her, and occasionally (controversially) even rooted for her.
Her downfall delivered the most delicious poetic justice, but is that really enough?
Serenas ending needs to force her to finally make a choice: power or motherhood, ideology or humanity.
Hulu
Shes spent seasons walking both sides, and her final chapter deserves a true reckoning.
Will she finally see women as people rather than vessels?
Or double down on the belief system that ultimately consumed her too?
Hulu
Commander Lawrence
The ultimate enigma part architect, part critic of his own creation.
His hands built the cage but sometimes slip keys to certain prisoners.
What viewers need from Lawrences ending is to see him finally take a concrete moral stand.
Hulu
No more hiding behind academic theories or playing both sides.
His closure requires stripping away that intellectual shield and facing the human cost of his greater good philosophy.
Can a man who helped design hell earn redemption?
Hulu
His fate might ultimately reveal whether Gilead was ever salvageable or just rotten from its conception.
Aunt Lydia
Once the terrifying face of brutal enforcement, Lydia has slowly unraveled into something far more complex.
The hairline fractures in her commitment to Gilead have grown, but she cant help but cling to control.
Her ending needs to deal with the war between her faith and her growing doubt about Gileads methods.
Janine Lindo
Sweet, resilient Janine the soul Gilead couldnt quite crush.
Shes been the emotional barometer of the series, reflecting the true horror while others dissociate to survive.
If anyone deserves a gentle landing, its Janine.
Her closure needs to honor her journey without more needless suffering.
The final season owes her more than just surviving; it owes her living.
And it would be an ultimate ending to see her get her daughter Angela back.
Hes been patient and supportive, yet still an outsider to Junes trauma.
The final season owes him more than just being Junes emotional landing pad.
Their potential future together cant ignore the ghosts that would live with them.
His ending needs to acknowledge that rescue doesnt equal healing and decide whether his devotion has limits.
It would also be beautiful to see him finally reunite with Hannah.
Hannah has grown up in Gilead, her formative years spent being indoctrinated into its twisted values.
Her rescue cant be the end of her story it would be the beginning of another equally difficult journey.
True closure for Hannah means giving her agency.
