A synopsis for the new season reads: ‘The cultural phenomenon picks up where we left off, with June’s fight for freedom against Gilead.
‘But the risks she takes bring unexpected and dangerous new challenges, and her desire for justice and revenge threaten to consume her and destroy her most cherished relationships.’
In the new teaser, June looks unrecognizable by Gilead standards, in a yellow hoodie and a blue baseball cap, as she navigates some deserted war-torn city streets.
