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.
