Based on a 1986 novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale is a Hulu original dystopian series presenting a bleak, not-so-far future.

You wouldn't expect to find a Hulu original in any place other than Hulu, but this is a successful series, as its four seasons indicate, so there's a loophole; in order for UK fans to have a legal way to watch The Handmaid's Tale, Hulu struck a deal with Amazon Prime Video. Because of that, those with a Prime subscription can watch the first 3 seasons with no extra charge. If you don't have Prime, you can still rent them.

Season 4 is currently not Amazon Prime Video, but UK fans will be able to watch it at a later time through Channel 4.

Disney Plus is your go-to if you're looking to stream any Disney film as well as anything from Pixar, the Avengers franchise, the Star Wars Empire, and so on. As The Handmaid's Tale isn't part of any of this, it isn't available on Disney Plus. Besides, it's not very family-friendly, being quite violent, so it wouldn't quite fit with the Disney brand.
