June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) escapes the dystopian world of Gilead where women are subjugated in new teaser for Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The fourth season of the series premieres April 28.
Based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, the series follows June, one of Gilead’s handmaidens who are enslaved and used for the purposes of their fertility. In addition to Moss, the show stars Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovski, Samira Wiley, Alexis Bledel, Ann Dowd, Max Minghella, Madeline Brewer, OT Fagbenle, Amanda Brugel, Bradley Whitford and Sam Jaeger.
The new clip opens in June on a deserted city street dressed in casual clothes, rather than the maid’s red dress and white bonnet uniform. It appears she managed to escape, as a flashback scene shows her riding in the back of a truck with members of the resistance. In the background, Radio Free America, “the first source of information on the Resistance” is broadcast. The station reveals that global sanctions are building on Gilead as the violence continues.
“She’s going to start a war,” June’s former handler, Commander Fred Waterford (Fiennes), told Gilead. Meanwhile, Aunt Lydia (Dowd), who oversees the maids, is on the hunt. “She’s out there planning who knows what kind of atrocities to visit on our righteous nation,” Lydia says, adding that June must be found and brought to her.
June, however, is ready for a battle. “We’re not hiding,” she said. “We are fighting.” The clip ends on a note of hope, with the arrival of June in Canada.
