The first trailer for The Handmaid's Tale season two is here, and you'd better prepare yourself for some full body chills.

The ominous and atmospheric new footage offers glimpses of June (Elisabeth Moss) muzzled and terrified, Moira (Samira Wiley) in her new life as a refugee in Canada, an emotional moment between June and Nick (Max Minghella), and a row of people including Janine (Madeline Brewer) being led to what appears to be The Colonies. The whole thing is underscored by a stunning cover of the Buffalo Springfield song 'For What It's Worth', one of the 1960s' most famous protest songs, performed by Malia J.

Hulu today confirmed the release date for the second season of its Emmy-sweeping drama. Season two will premiere on April 25 with two new episodes, and subsequent episodes released every Wednesday only on Hulu.

Per Hulu's official synopsis, Season 2 is "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 our characters will fight against - or succumb to - this dark truth."

Moss has promised that the season two premiere is one of the show's most unpredictable to date. "There is literally no way that anyone can guess what happens," she told EW. "You can try, but you won’t do it... We have no intention of doing anything else than being even more balls to the wall than we were in Season 1."
