THE Handmaid's Tale's Elisabeth Moss has teased June's escape to a remote island with children beyond season four.

The hit Hulu series sees Elisabeth play rebellious Handmaid June, who has managed to get her baby daughter Nicole to safety in Canada while remaining in Gilead in the hope of saving her elder daughter Hannah too.

June is also in love with two men, her husband Luke in Canada and her lover Nick in Gilead, and discussing whether her character will get a happy ending with either man or her children, Elisabeth told : "It depends what you define as happy."

She added she'd pitched one idea of "June ending up in a really modern relationship on an island”.

She said: “It’s very French, and they have beautiful children" before adding there was "an idea where it might end".

While she didn't elaborate any further, she did say season four had plenty of "surprises" for where the show would end up.

Elisabeth said: "We don’t want to keep doing the same thing. You can’t just keep June in this place where she’s tortured all the time. It’s boring.”

Last month, it was confirmed the show will welcome Mckenna Grace to the cast as the wife of a "much older" Commander in a sick and twisted plot for season four.

confirmed that Mckenna, 14, has signed on to portray "a sharply intelligent, teenaged wife of a much older Commander who rules her farm and household with confidence."
