The Handmaid’s Story season 6 (April 8)
By season 5, June has escaped to Canada, but she remains traumatized by her experiences and hellbent on revenge. Plus, the folks in Gilead aren’t satisfied with letting her get off that easily. The stakes are raised higher as June ends up with Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) and baby Nichole, both fleeing, while Luke (O-T Fagbenie) lets himself get arrested so she can get to safety. The story in The Handmaid’s Tale has long since diverted from Atwood’s writings that inspired the first season, leaving fans guessing as to where it ends. But like Atwood’s heartwrenching story, The Handmaid’s Tale is a deeply troubling tale about societal downfall into oppression and cruelty masked by religion.

Your Associates and Neighbors season 1 (April 11)
Typically, wasteful extravagance isn’t actually seen till you not have the means to partake. That is the scenario with Andrew “Coop” Cooper (Jon Hamm) in Your Friends and Neighbors. He’s a hedge fund manager whose life is upended after losing his job. Due to murky contract stipulations, he can’t work in the field again for the foreseeable future. With two teenage kids, a mortgage on a house he no longer even lives in, and other struggles, the mounting bills and the personal toll everything is taking on Coop aren’t just going to disappear. The walls are closing in on him. One day, however, he gets a ridiculous idea: his elitist friends have so much more money and material things than they know what to do with. Would they really miss it if he stole a thing or two?
Naturally, Coop’s actions start to get out of hand, and every move he makes opens another Pandora’s Box of problems. Your Friends and Neighbors is as much a story about a man’s descent into darkness as it is a wake-up call about greed and excess, told through Coop’s inner monologue narration. It’s when you do everything right and think you have it all that you lose sight of what’s actually important. Your Friends and Neighbors is arguably one of Hamm’s best roles since Don Draper in Mad Men, bringing you back to the suave, businessman swagger for which he first became known.

The Final of Us season 2 (April 13)
It’s lastly right here. After an virtually two-year wait, The Last of Us is back this month with its second season. Based on the Naughty Dog video game franchise of the same name, our reviewer calls it the “most faithful video game adaptation that has ever been produced.” Pedro Pascal returns as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, an unlikely smuggler and teenager duo navigating the post-apocalyptic, virally infected wasteland together. Adapting the story from The Last of Us Part II, season 2 is set five years later as the pair continue their journey.
They encounter new people, and tensions run high. That’s especially so given that, based on the trailer, Ellie presumably learns about that big lie Joel told her to save her life. Earning eight Primetime Emmy Awards for its first season (of an impressive 24 nominations), The Last of Us has been one of the most anticipated show returns this year.
Stream The Last of Us on Max.
Andor season 2 (April 20)
It’s solely going to run for 2 seasons, and followers have waited virtually three years for the return of Andor, one of many new shows within the Star Wars universe. As a prequel to Rogue One, Diego Luna stars as Cassian Andor, with the first season focusing on telling the story of his journey to becoming a revolutionary. Our reviewer calls it a “thoughtful, slow-developing story.” Season two chronicles the next four years in his life, leading up to the events in Rogue One, another prequel to 1977’s Star Wars.
Follow Andor as he goes from thief to a core member of the Rebel Alliance, who fights back against the Galactic Empire. Season 1 received universal acclaim and three Primetime Emmy Awards. Season two is poised to be a fitting end to the compelling story that technically marks the beginning point of this massive franchise.
