Season 3 of The Handmaid's Tale is out TONIGHT and we cannot wait to watch it!

Praise be! The wait is nearly over!

The epic third season of The Handmaid's Tale debuts in New Zealand tonight and we cannot wait to watch it.

In fact, Kiwi fans of the thrilling Hulu show will get to watch, not just episode one - but the first THREE episodes. That's right, all three are available tonight on the streaming service, Lightbox!

The remaining 10 episodes will then be available to watch every Thursday.

Finally, fans will get to see what happens to Offred/June, played by Elisabeth Moss, after the second season’s shock twist where she decided to stay in the secretive and strict Republic of Gilead while helping Alexis Bedel’s character Emily escape with her newborn baby, Holly.

Based on the trailer, it doesn't look like things have been any easier for her ...

The exciting teaser for dystopian TV series – based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel – shows how June has been punished for "heresy" and hints at how she hopes to take down Gilead from the inside ...

We cannot wait to see how it all unfolds!

According to The Handmaid's Tale's executive producer Bruce Miller, "resistance" will be a major theme for the third season.

"The season is about resistance," Bruce revealed to TV Insider, "June resisting and June fighting."

"After a couple of seasons of being beaten down, she's had quite enough. She's finding ways to rebel."

The acclaimed show’s next chapter will be available to stream on Lightbox from 8pm tonight, June 6.
