May the Lord open — and just end “The Handmaid’s Tale” already.

That won’t happen anytime soon, as Hulu announced Friday that its dystopian nightmare drama will return for a fourth season next year with star Elisabeth Moss.

The news is a bit surprising, considering that the series, adapted from Margaret Atwood’s novel, is running on narrative fumes as it nears its Aug. 14 Season 3 conclusion — with June/OfJoseph (Moss) plotting to smuggle over 50 children out of Gilead with help from emotionally broken Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), one of Gilead’s chief architects. Good times!

The series has been a boon for Hulu, garnering a slew of Emmy nominations and statuettes for creator Bruce Miller, Moss, Samira Wiley (Moira) and Ann Dowd as fanatically evil, sadistic Aunt Lydia — who lords over the handmaids and isn’t shy about using violence and torture to keep them in line. Whitford snared an Emmy nomination earlier this month, along with guest star Cherry Jones, who plays June’s mother, Holly Maddox.
