"A little bit of both," Moss then joked as Kimmel said "congratulations".

"People are really starting to get upset, especially when I tell them we haven’t even started shooting it yet," the star added. "'When is it coming back?' I'm like, 'Well…'. They're a little upset. So it may not be until 2025."

The show, which wrapped up its last season all the way back in November 2022, will be getting a big change-up for its final run as longtime showrunner Bruce Miller steps away, replaced by Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang.

Speaking to Digital Spy before his exit, Miller teased what to expect from the show's eventual ending.

"We’re going to wrap it up on our own terms," he said. "It’s something we never get with just the way the business is set up. And also, more importantly, not something everyone would give to the audience."

The Handmaid's Tale streams on Hulu in the US and both Channel 4 and Prime Video in the UK.
