Is the Handmaid's Tale on tonight?

Fans were thrilled when The Handmaid's Tale finally arrived on Channel Four last month.

The fourth series of the multi-Emmy-winning US drama series, set in a dystopian society that treats women as property of the state, made it's debut on UK screens in June after being ordered for streaming service Hulu.

The drama, based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead a totalitarian society in what was formerly part of the United States.

Despite the Euro 2020 tournament Channel Four has managed to make way for The Handmaid's Tale.

And viewers are set to be taken back to Gilead at 9pm tonight.

This might be an ideal distraction for those who simply can't bear to stick with all the drama of the England vs Italy clash.

But for many it's going to be difficult to choose what to tune into.

One viewer was emphatic that the The Handmaid's Tale, starring Golden Globe and Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne, is the one for them.

"I will be watching the brilliant Handmaid's Tale on channel 4," they tweeted.

Another Handmaid's Tale fan decided: "I wish the national team well and I hope everyone enjoys the match safely but I find football utterly dull and hate the noise of it too…so won’t be watching!"

And they said: "On Sun I'll be watching The Handmaid's

Tale and then paint drying.

"Sick of presenters harping on about bloody football. Thank goodness it's almost over."

All three seasons are available to stream on All4 and are also available on Amazon Prime.
