How to watch 'The Handmaid's Tale' Season 5 in the UK, U.S., and abroad

SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for unblocking and streaming Hulu. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £92.77 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.

Life is really unfair sometimes. The Handmaid's Tale is back for its fifth season but fans in the UK are set for a long and painful wait to watch.

At some point in the distant future, season five of the The Handmaid's Tale will be available to watch for free on Channel 4. No release date has been given yet though, meaning fans are stuck in a pretty torturous state of limbo. The situation is straightforward in the U.S., with the latest season launching on Hulu.

You can watch the entire fifth season for free with a one-month trial of Hulu. The last episode of the series drops on Nov. 9, so you can watch every episode without committing to a paid subscription. Just don't forget to cancel before the automatic renewal comes around.

If you are travelling outside of the U.S. over the next couple of months but still want to watch the new episodes of The Handmaid's Tale as they are released, you will need to sign up to a VPN. With a streaming-friendly service like ExpressVPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server back in the U.S. This quick and easy process will provide access to Hulu from anywhere in the world.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £92.77, saving you 49% on list price. This plan includes an extra three months and a year of unlimited cloud backup for free. Users also get a generous 30-day money-back guarantee. You could be extra sneaky and unblock every episode of the fifth season of The Handmaid's Tale, and then recover your investment from ExpressVPN.
