Check out an official description for the new season below, then hit PLAY on the preview above:
The 13-episode second season will be shaped by Offred’s pregnancy and her ongoing fight to free her future child from the dystopian horrors of Gilead. “Gilead is within you” is a favorite saying of Aunt Lydia. In Season 2, Offred and all characters will fight against – or succumb to – this dark truth.

The teaser trailer, clocking in at just under a minute-and-a-half, features a series of stunning visuals — but the one that’ll likely have people talking comes at the 0:53 mark, as Offred appears to set fire to her handmaid uniform.
