The acclaimed adaptation, which grabbed five Emmys for its freshman run, will return in the month of April with a season “shaped by Offred’s pregnancy and her ongoing fight to free her future child from the dystopian horrors of Gilead,” says the press release. “‘Gilead is within you’ is a favorite saying of Aunt Lydia. In Season 2, Offred and all our characters will fight against – or succumb to – this dark truth.”
