June Is Out for Blood in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 5 Trailer
The eerily prescient struggle for women’s rights continues in the new trailer for the fifth season of The Handmaid’s Tale. The tense clip reveals June (Elisabeth Moss) savoring the aftermath of the murder of Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) last season and preparing to confront his grieving and furious wife Serena (Yvonne Strahovski).
I need her to know it was me,” June intones about Serena. The trailer concludes with June and her companions apparently re-entering Gilead. “I pray for our children,” June says in an impassioned speech. “May they live a life without all of this hate. Dear God, may they do better than we did.”
