Washington DC [US], February 15 (ANI): American actress and comedian D’Arcy Carden will be part of the highly anticipated ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’s’ sixth and final season, which premieres this spring, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The actress has joined the Emmy-winning Hulu drama in a guest-starring role. Carden recently appeared in Nthe etflix mega-hit ‘Nobody Wants This’ and ‘A Man on the Inside’.
Carden is best known for her iconic and longtime role in ‘The Good Place’, ‘Barry’ and Amazon’s short-lived but much-loved remake of ‘A League of Their Own.’
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the actress also recently wrapped filming on the Australian dramedy ‘Sunny Nights’, in which she stars opposite Will Forte.
Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, The Handmaid’s Tale was the first streaming series to win outstanding drama series at the Emmy Awards. Its final run has been a long time coming, as it last aired a new episode in autumn 2022, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Just this week, Hulu announced the April 8 premiere for The Handmaid’s Tale’s endgame. It revolves around the story of women enslaved and forced to carry children for the religious ruling class in an America that’s gone very far off the rails.

The final season sees Moss’ June leading a rebellion to permanently change the fascist tides.
