Where to watch The Handmaid’s Tale (2026 guide)

Main streaming platforms

Hulu (US and some territories) – This is the show’s original home, and all seasons (including Season 6, the final season) are available with a Hulu subscription.

Disney+ (many international regions) – In a lot of countries outside the US, The Handmaid’s Tale is available in the Star/“general entertainment” section of Disney+ with all seasons.

Amazon Prime Video
- In some regions (like the UK), seasons 1–4 are included with a Prime subscription.

* In the US and some other countries, you can **buy** seasons/episodes digitally rather than stream them as part of Prime.

Crave (Canada) – In Canada, the series is available to stream on Crave (and via the Crave channel on Prime Video), with all seasons listed.

Max (selected European countries) – Viewers in countries like Sweden report watching the series on Max.

Quick regional snapshot (examples)

Region (example)	Where to watch
United States	Hulu (all seasons, incl. Season 6); buy via Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home.
Canada	Crave / Crave Amazon Channel, also on Amazon Prime Video in some setups.
UK	Amazon Prime Video has seasons 1–4 included with Prime; later seasons may require purchase or other local services.
Many EU countries	Disney+ (Star) for all seasons in many markets; some may also have it on Max or local services.

Because you’re in Europe (T1 region), there’s a good chance Disney+ or a local partner service carries it, but availability can vary by country from one year to the next.

Buying vs. streaming

If it’s not included on a subscription service in your region, you can usually buy the show digitally:

Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home (Vudu) – Full seasons or single episodes are available for purchase in many markets.

DVD / Blu‑ray – Box sets are sold by major retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Watching from countries where it’s missing

Many people outside the US run into geoblocks, especially with Hulu. A common legal workaround discussed online:

Use a reputable VPN to appear as if you’re in the US,
Sign up for Hulu (often via a digital Hulu gift card if you lack a US payment method),
Log in and stream The Handmaid’s Tale like any US subscriber.

If you prefer to stay 100% within your local catalog, your best bet is:

Check Disney+, Prime Video, and any local platforms like Crave/Max equivalents in your country.
Use a site like JustWatch for your specific country to see a live list of who’s streaming or selling the show there.

Forum & “real viewer” chatter

Online forum discussions show:

Some European viewers struggle because Prime only has early seasons and Hulu isn’t available, leading them to hunt for alternatives or consider VPNs.

Others note that in certain countries (like Sweden), Max currently carries the show, illustrating how fragmented licensing is in Europe.

There’s ongoing chatter about subscription fatigue and whether it’s easier to juggle multiple services or just buy the series outright.
