Will Season 5 Be The Final Installment? Spin-Off Series In Talks At Hulu

When asked if season 5 would be the last, Miller said that he was not quite sure about it. Miller revealed that he had an extensive decision with Elizabeth Moss and the writing staff. He feels that this season is a good time to reaccess how far they want to take it.

Earlier at Deadline’s Contenders TV virtual event, Miller admitted that he was never looking to end the show. He appreciated the team for making an incredible show, and he was not just ready to walk away yet. Miller shared that he already knows the ending and is not looking to overstay his welcome. However, he is not looking to rush off either as he enjoys writing for Elizabeth Moss. 

After the fourth season, the head of Scripted Originals at Hulu, Jordan Helman, told Deadline that their utmost priority is closing the show in a creative fashion that feels organic. They had not landed on an answer when Helman gave an interview in August last year. However, he hoped to reach an answer in the coming months. 

Helman teased a likely spin-off series, “The Testaments,” based on Margaret Atwood’s source material. He added that the eventual end of The Handmaid’s Tale and the birth of The Testaments are interrelated. Hence, the fans have a lot to look forward to after the series comes to a close. 

The Testament is a sequel that is set ten years ahead of the first book. It explores the aspects of June’s legacy that she left behind in Gilead. The story is told from the perspective of three women and one of them is Aunt Lydia.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5: What To Expect?

In the fourth season finale, Fred was chased by June and the former handmaids through the forest. They beat him to death and hung him on a wall. Luke was shocked when June returned home with blood all over her face. Serena waited for Fred to video call her as he promised when she received an envelope with Fred’s wedding ring and a ring finger. 

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 will continue to explore June’s trauma after her escape from Gilead. She will continue to rebel against Gilead and take down her next target during her quest for revenge and justice.

Ann Dowd revealed that the opening episodes of the fifth season would be ‘explosive.’ After reading the script of a couple of episodes, she said the fans would not be able to predict what’s coming their way. While June continues to resist from Canada with Emily and other survivors, we can expect a full-fledged war coming their way from Gilead. June might end up going on the run as the Gilead chases her after destroying the only hope June had of reuniting with her daughter. Thus, we can expect a lot of action and drama during the fifth season.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5: When Does It Return?

The filming for the fifth installment is believed to have kicked off in February in Ontario, Canada. A notice for the Brantford area revealed that a show called Ruby Road would be filming from February 14 through March. Moreover, Ruby Road is believed to be the production name of The Handmaid’s Tale. 

The series cast member Ann Dowd who portrays Aunt Lydia in the drama confirmed to The Independent that shooting for the fifth season will begin in February. Moreover, Amanda Brugel also shared a video on Twitter on February 9, teasing a chair with her character name clip on it. Hence, we can expect that Hulu will premiere The handmaid’s tale season 5 during the second half of 2022. In addition, the fans also discuss rumors about a sixth installment. Hence, the fifth season may not be the end after all. So, stay tuned for more exclusive updates about your favorite TV shows only on TechRadar247.com.

WandaVision kicked off Marvel’s Phase Four and became a standard for the franchise’s original television series. The miniseries attracted a lot of attention and speculations as it was the first new MCU content in more than a year due to the pandemic. However, the debut season did well as the Disney+ exclusive series and grossed an impressive rating of 8/10 on IMDB and 91%on Rotten Tomatoes. The series won three Primetime Emmy Awards out of 23 nominations for the first season. The first installment came out in January and commenced in March 2021. Since then, Marvel fans have been hoping to see Maximoff returning for WandaVision Season 2. 

The miniseries is set three weeks after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Wand and Vision find themselves living in suburban life in Westview, New Jersey. They try to hide their powers by hiding their true selves from the people of the town. With each episode, the surrounding moves through different decades. However, after a while, Vision slowly begins to suspect that everything is not as it seems to be.

Wanda used her chaotic magic to control the people of the whole town and revived Vision. However, her magic seems to break when another named Agatha Harkness stops her. Meanwhile, Hayward and his men attack the town to stop Wanda. Eventually, Wanda loses her twins, Vision dies, and Wanda gets into hiding. So, will Maximoff return for WandaVision Season 2 to bring Vision and her twins back after hearing their cry during the finale’s post-credits? Keep reading further to find out!

Will WandaVision Return For A Second Installment?

Recently, the director of Marvel’s upcoming series Moon Knight, Mohamed Diab, indicated that WandaVision Season 2 might not be in the minds of the franchise currently. While talking to Sfx World, Diab said that MCU is like a crazy world. He said Marvel is not doing a second season even with successful shows like WandaVision. Diab added that Elizabeth Olson moved on to appear in The Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness after the conclusion of WandaVision.

Olsen will also reprise her role in a spin-off series focusing on Kathryn Hahn’s character Agatha Harkness, written and executive produced by Schaffer. The spin-off series would be titled “Agatha: House of Harkness.” Thus, while we will get to mee more of Wanda Maximoff appearing in various series and films, her return with Vision for a second run seems improbable in the near future.

But, you never know with Marvel Universe, Wanda was still broken about her kids and heard their cries. And she is one of the most powerful superheroes in the MCU. So, Vision’s love and affection for her twins might drive Wanda towards WandaVision Season 2 somewhere in the future.

Marvel President Kevin Feige’s Take On A Second Run

During his interview in 2021, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that Olsen would move from WandaVision to the Doctor Strange film. Kevin said that crossovers are fun about MCU between individual series and film for the superhero characters. He also highlighted that several of Marvel’s series was getting a second run. Sadly, WandaVision may not be one of those for now.

When Asked About Wanda Vision Season 2, Feige joked that he had been at Marvel for too long to say no to anything. However, he mentioned that Olsen would be involved in other projects, and the second installment may not be on the cards as of now. However, Marvel might consider circling back to the successful miniseries in the future.

How Did WandaVision Conclude?

In the final episode, Harkness tried to Consume all of Maximoff’s chaos magic. She was interrupted by Another Vision, who tried to kill Wanda. The real Vision intervened and fought with the fake throughout Westview. Meanwhile, Harkness freed the town’s people from Wanda’s mind control. She opened the barrier allowing Hayward and the SWORD to enter. The fake Vision restored the real one’s memory, reminding him of his death by Thanos. 

The twins fought the SWORD while Wanda entrapped Harkness in her Agnes personality. Wanda bid farewell to Vision and the twins before collapsing the hex and erasing them. Maximoff was heartbroken and went into hiding. Wanda heard the twins cry for help while studying the Darkhold in her astral form in the post-credits. Hence, she will definitely return in the next Dr. Strange film and hopefully many more times after that. 

WandaVision Season 2: When Does It Return?

Unfortunately, MCU has not renewed the show for a second run since the first season concluded in March 2021. Olsen is currently working on other MCU projects. Thus, it is not sure when the series will return for WandaVision Season 2. However, we are hopeful that Wanda And Vision will get the second installment in the future.
