First Trailer and Premiere Date for “The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 2

It’s time to venture outside of Gilead.

Hulu finally announced the return of the dystopian drama. The second season of The Handmaid’s Tale will return on Wednesday, April 25 with the first two episodes of the season.

The series was a huge success for the streaming service, taking home both the Emmy and Golden Globe for Best Drama Series.

Fans have been wondering what’s in store for the upcoming season. Show-runner Bruce Miller told EW that the he and Margaret Atwood, who wrote the novel by the same name, began discussing season two before the first season was even complete.

“The biggest barrier of season two was season one,” Miller said. “You sort of intimidate yourself. But at a certain point, you can’t spend all your time second-guessing things. Instead, you just have to remember to try and tell a good story.”

Hulu did more than confirm the premiere date of the upcoming season, it also released the first trailer for the new season, and it is grim and eerie. The trailer reveals that the oft-mentioned colonies outside of Gilead will definitely be part of the season. The trailer shows Moira (Samira Wiley) and Luke (O-T Fagbenle) safe together in Canada. But there’s no doubt that the highlight of the trailer is a reunion between pregnant June and Nick (Max Minghella), the father of her unborn child.
