Though June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) appeared able to put Gilead behind her in The Handmaid’s Tale’s season 5 finale, a brand new trailer for the present’s sixth season finds her again within the stomach of the beast quietly rallying different girls to strike again at their Christofascist oppressors. While Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) and Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) don’t appear to know precisely how June plans to destroy every little thing they’ve constructed, they’ll really feel that there’s a brand new subversive vitality coursing by means of Gilead’s inhabitants of subjugated handmaids.
That doesn’t look like a direct concern for Commander Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) as he achieves a brand new stage of energy inside Gilead. But the trailer’s pictures of handmaids arming themselves with switchblades makes it look like they’re well past able to burn every little thing down if that’s what it takes to be free.
When The Handmaid’s Tale first premiered in 2017, it appeared so dystopian that it was simple for some to dismiss it as pure speculative fiction. But given the continuing push to additional restrict girls’s entry to reproductive healthcare within the US, the present might be going to really feel that like much more of a believable imaginative and prescient of the longer term when it returns on April eighth.
