The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 filming is underway. To help keep fans away, the show uses a code name, but that’s the worst kept secret ever.

There are times when secrets are the worst kept ever. That’s the case for the code name for The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 filming. The code name is supposed to offer some privacy and protection when it comes to filming notices, but this is one of those code names that is shared almost instantly.

The show continues to stick to the code name, though. Considering it’s hard to hide when it is in some of the more populated streets of Toronto, Hamilton, Cambridge, and other local areas, that’s not all too surprising.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 filming code name

BlogTO shared the code name when there was a filming notice for Brampton. It is “Ruby Road.”

How did the show got that code name? Could it have something to do with ruby slippers and “there’s no place like home?” After all, June has fought for her life with Luke for a while, and she’s also fighting to get Hannah back, who is her home. Home isn’t always a physical place.

It’s to do with the way the handmaids walk together. Their red cloaks give a look of a ruby road.

Filming for the season started back in February 2022. It is ongoing, with a recent filming notification for a private residence in Cambridge, ON. It’s not entirely clear how long filming will go on for. This is a show that likes to keep a lot under wraps to prevent spoilers.

We don’t have a release date for The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 just yet. With filming only just happening, that’s not surprising. Hulu won’t want to set a date just yet with nobody really knowing whether there will be any delays in the process. After filming, there also needs to be the post-production stage.
