The Paley Museum Commemorates the Final Season of The Handmaid’s Tale

Based on the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood, the critically acclaimed series The Handmaid’s Tale is coming to an end after eight years. Set in a dystopian United States following the Second American Civil War, The Handmaid’s Tale paints a dark picture of life for women, many of whom are Handmaids, under a totalitarian government. The first season captured audiences’ attention with a powerhouse cast, led by Elisabeth Moss as “June Osborn/Offred” in a story of survival, strength, and overcoming extreme adversity. Winner of fifteen Emmy Awards across its first five seasons, the dystopian thriller’s sixth and final season premieres April 8, 2025. We invite you to watch the series premiere and season one finale from the Paley Archive.

Also at The Paley Museum, come immerse yourself in our exhibit: The Legacy of The Handmaid’s Tale: June’s Evolution from Handmaid to Rebel, running April 4 to June 8, 2025.

Note: On May 29, this will not screen in the Bennack Theater.

The Handmaid’s Tale: “Offred” (Series Premiere)
This series premiere describes a dystopian future in which women are enslaved within Gilead, a totalitarian, religion-based society. A woman called Offred ("of Fred") (Elisabeth Moss), is separated from her husband and daughter and forcibly assigned to be a subservient "Handmaid" to a powerful couple, the icy Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) and her husband, Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes). Offred privately declares her determination to survive for her husband Luke, her daughter Hannah, and for her true, forbidden self: June. (Hulu, 2017)

The Handmaid’s Tale: “Night” (Season One Finale)
In this season one finale, Offred recalls her first pregnancy and Serena Joy takes Offred on a road trip, where she later reveals Offred’s daughter, Hannah. Offred pleads to be reunited with her daughter, and Serena Joy assures her Hannah will be safe as long as she maintains a healthy pregnancy. Later, Fred (Joseph Fiennes) assures Serena Joy that they will be a true "family" once Offred delivers their child and departs from the home. Offred is later arrested and prepares for either "her end or a new beginning." (2017, Hulu)

The Paley Museum Pays Tribute to Everybody Loves Raymond 

June 11 – 29, 2025
Bennack Theater

Premiering on September 13, 1996, Everybody Loves Raymond depicted the everyday lives of an Italian American family living on Long Island in New York. Created and executive produced by Phil Rosenthal and based on the comedy of Ray Romano, episodes featured Ray Barone (Romano) and his wife Debra (Patricia Heaton), their three children, his older brother Robert (Brad Garrett), and overbearing but loving parents Frank and Marie Barone (Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts). Ray often finds himself in hilarious situations where he is caught between his wife and his brother and parents, often pulled in one direction or another as the sides trade spars over everything from a hijacked secret family recipe to a missing cookie tin. The beloved series ran for 210 episodes across nine seasons, ending May 16, 2005, and remains a steadfast and comedic representation of American family life. 

Also at The Paley Museum, come immerse yourself in our exhibit: 30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond: A Behind-the-Scenes Tribute, running June 13 to September 7, 2025.
