When Will ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 3, Episode 4 Release On Hulu?

Hulu subscribers who binge-watched the first three episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 3 might be wondering where episode 4 is hiding. No, you’re not missing anything. The fourth episode will not release until next week.

This is the release strategy for every season of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” On premiere day, multiple episodes are released on Hulu, but after that, episodes come out weekly every Wednesday. The 13-episode season will not be finished until mid-August.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 3, episode 4 premieres Wednesday, June 12 at 12 a.m. EDT on Hulu. That means west coast viewers can catch it at 9 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.

[Spoiler alert: Minor spoilers for episode 4 are below.]

The episode, titled “God Bless the Child,” will show June (Elisabeth Moss) finding another way to chat with Commander Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) and Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski). It looks like the Commander asks June how to connect with his wife again, and June tells Serena that she has “influence.”

Elsewhere, Janine (Madeline Brewer) will get into trouble again. She gets to see her daughter, and it looks like she begs to be with the baby. However, Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) will punish her for making such a scene.

Though it isn’t shown in the trailer, viewers will also get to see life in Canada again. Emily (Alexis Bledel) was last seen finally calling her wife (Clea Duvall) in episode 2, and they’ll see each other in episode 4.

Though it certainly looks like June is trying to make an alliance with Serena, Moss has hinted that June’s trust might be misplaced.

“One of her greatest strengths is also one of her greatest weaknesses, which is her capacity to believe in the good of other people. And she really believes in Serena; she really believes in her ability to do the right thing and her ability to be a mother and do the right thing for her child, and for the other children of Gilead,” Moss told Variety. “But it was a mistake. There are people who will act for only their own interest. And that’s a discovery June has to make, and she makes it the hard way.”
