US Trends

handmaid's tale where to watch

You can watch The Handmaid’s Tale primarily on Hulu, with some seasons also available on other platforms depending on your country.

Main ways to watch

  • Hulu (US and via VPN)
    • It’s a Hulu original and streams there in the US, including the later seasons.
* If Hulu isn’t available where you live, some guides suggest using a VPN to access the US library, but this can violate terms of service and may be illegal in some countries, so check your local laws and the platform rules first.
  • Disney+/Disney Bundle (some regions)
    • Some up‑to‑date streaming guides note that you can watch The Handmaid’s Tale on Disney+ in certain countries, often as part of the Star section; availability is region‑specific.
  • Amazon Prime Video (many regions)
    • In the UK, seasons 1–4 are included with an Amazon Prime subscription.
* In the US, you can buy seasons or episodes on Amazon Prime Video, but they’re not included for free with Prime.
  • Other paid digital stores
    • You can buy the show digitally on services like Apple TV (iTunes) and Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) in the US.
  • Physical media
    • DVD and Blu‑ray box sets are sold by retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Country-to-country differences (examples)

These examples give a sense of how fragmented rights are right now:

  • United States
    • Streaming: Hulu (all seasons).
* Purchase: Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, plus DVD/Blu‑ray.
  • United Kingdom
    • Streaming: Seasons 1–4 on Amazon Prime as part of the subscription.
* New seasons often appear first on a local Hulu/Disney+ partner or via paid VOD, depending on current rights.
  • Some European countries (forum chatter)
    • Fans report patchy access: one Reddit user from Portugal only saw the first two seasons on Prime and couldn’t get Hulu; others mention using Max or a VPN as alternatives, again with the same legal/TOS caveats.

Because streaming rights change frequently, the most practical next step is to:

  1. Search “The Handmaid’s Tale” directly in:
    • Your local Disney+/Star app.
    • Amazon Prime Video (check whether it’s included with Prime or only for purchase).
    • Any regional service like Max or similar in your country.
  2. If nothing appears, check a streaming-availability guide like JustWatch for your specific country and see which services currently list it.
