Filming for season five of The Handmaid's Tale has been spotted in some of the most iconic locations in Toronto this week. It was seen at Yonge-Dundas Square and the University of Toronto campus.
The hit dystopian Hulu series has been shooting in and around Toronto, so you may be able to spot some of your favourite actors on the street if you keep your eyes open.
A Twitter user spotted Elisabeth Moss, who plays June Osborne on the show, and O-T Fagbenle, who plays, Luke Bankole, filming at U of T, according to a tweet posted on March 26.

Although that's not the only spot they've been visiting outside of the 6ix.
Handmaid's Daily also reshared photos where the show was also spotted filming what "could be a pretty big scene" in Newmarket this week.
The March 30 tweet shows what appears to be a building transformed to look like the "Gilead Information Centre."
