When will 'The Handmaid's Tale' Season 5 Episode 8 premiere on Hulu?
Season 5 of 'The Handmaid's Tale' is at an interesting juncture because no one could have imagined in their wildest dreams that June and Serena would be working together. Since the very beginning, June has been trying to demolish Gilead and everyone associated with it. June (Elisabeth Moss) mercilessly killed Commander Fred Waterford in Season 4 finale and had already made up her mind to kill Serena as well because she feels that Serena is equally dangerous. However, the ending of Episode 6 saw Serena doing the unthinkable and saving June from the inevitable.
Meanwhile, in the seventh episode of the series, we saw both women sharing things with each other. But things got a bit crazier when June had to help Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) in giving birth to her baby. Yes, Serena is now a mom and she has named her son Noah. They discuss various things and Serena tells her why she didn't kill June even when she had the perfect chance. Both Elisabeth Moss and Yvonne Strahovski were truly magnificent in this sequence. The birth of Serena's child brought them closer and that's why they kept on sharing things with each other.

June also revealed that she didn't want to kill Serena and that she hopes that Noah doesn't turn out to be like his father, Fred.
The ending of the episode was really emotional and you genuinely start to feel bad for Serena after she is taken to a detention center and her child is taken away from her. This was really hard to see and now that they have taken her child away from her, it will be interesting to see if June helps her or if she just lets her stay there and gets punished for everything bad she has done in her life. The next episode is probably going to be really important for all the characters, especially June. So, when will the next episode arrive on Hulu? Let's find out.
When will 'The Handmaid's Tale' Season 5 Episode 8 air on Hulu?
There were some rumors swirling on social media that 'The Handmaid's Tale' might be taking a week's break after the seventh episode, but they are all just rumors and there's no truth in them. So, Episode 8, titled 'Motherland', will be making its way to Hulu on Wednesday, October 26, at 12:01 am EST.
The title seems to be pretty intriguing and suggests that someone might be making a return to the show. However, the focus will be on Serena spending her time in detention and waiting for someone to get her out. Will June help Serena in reuniting her with her son? Or she'll just let Serena face the heat. June is a mother herself and knows the pain of being away from a child. So, June might take this into consideration, and might help Serena.
Nevertheless, the next week's episode is going to be bonkers and we'll see some new twists and turns.
