Blessed Day, Handmaid's Tale fans. The long-awaited fourth season is here! The first three episodes of season four are streaming free at SBS On Demand, and episodes one and two screen on SBS from 8.30pm tonight. 

It has been a long time between seasons of the hit show, so if you need a refresher of everything that went down in season 3, we've got you covered with this recap. 

The fourth season promises "patience rewarded", says executive producer Warren Littlefield, who joined fellow EPs, showrunner Bruce Miller and star/director Elisabeth Moss for a preview of what we can expect. No spoilers, and you can read it all here. 

It's going to be so great, but when you watch those epic first three episodes, then what? What is a Handmaid's tragic supposed to do, as they await the next week's episode? We've asked ourselves the same questions, because we are you, you are we. 

1. RECAP EVERY EPISODE OF THE HANDMAID'S TALE SEASON 4, WITH EYES ON GILEAD

SBS' own award-winning companion podcast, Eyes On Gilead: A Handmaid's Tale Podcast is back to dissect every moment of the season, as Fiona Williams, Natalie Hambly, Haidee Ireland and Sana Qadar reflect on the moments of each episode. The podcast charts globally and regularly features guests of the show offering additional insights.  Yes we're biased, but it is an essential companion to The Handmaid's Tale.
