The Handmaid's Tale Season 5 Trailer Sparks Fan Division

The first teaser trailer for The Handmaid's Tale season 5 has been released, and it hints at the fallout from Commander Fred Waterford's death. The dystopian series, based on Margaret Atwood's novel, ended season 4 with June (Elisabeth Moss) killing Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) in a brutal act of revenge.

The new footage shows June in Canada with her husband Luke Bankole (O-T Fagbenle), but she is haunted by her actions. 'I want her to know that it was me, the grieving wife. She knows the world is watching...' June narrates, referring to Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski), who appears determined to avenge her husband's death.

Elisabeth Moss, who also executive produces, previously teased that season 5 is 'one of the wilder rides that we've had.' She added, 'This season, I almost can't keep up with the amount of activity that's happening.' The show returns on September 14, streaming on Hulu in the US and airing on Channel 4 in the UK.
