Hulu has finally released the first English trailer for the new season “The Handmaid’s Tale”.

However, as we can see from the end of the trailer, June is quite ready and challenges Serena directly to a fight.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 5: Storyline

The end of season 4 was on the one hand extremely satisfying, on the other hand truly not for the faint of heart. A deal with Commander Lawrence was to hand over Fred Waterfords (Joseph Fiennes) to the safety of the city of Gilead in exchange for 22 women of the Resistance. But Lawrence and Nick leave Fred to his bloody fate.

June and the other victims took care of him and hung Fred’s battered, headless body as a reminder on the wall where disobedient maids had been displayed in previous seasons.

Following this exciting season finale, Entertainment Weekly magazine interviewed series creator Bruce Miller about the Season 5 sequel of The Handmaid’s Tale. In it, Miller recaps the events of the Season 4 finale, discussing June’s feelings and what happened to the protagonist could happen.

Now it’s June’s turn to explore her future in Season 5. For her revenge, she committed herself to the terrible deed. But her pain and her traumatic experiences are not forgotten. So will she finally be able to let go or will her actions catch up with her?

In the following, she could face the decision to sacrifice her entire life for a better society and a world worth living in. The story will develop into a long fight for justice, in which in the end the remaining energy, enthusiasm and common sense will decide about victory or defeat. Sometimes you have to sacrifice everything for a goal that is denied to you. Of course, showrunner Bruce Miller didn’t want to reveal what June expects in detail in season 5.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 5: Production

Showrunner Bruce Miller (“The 100”) is already busy talking about Season 5 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” in interviews, so he will certainly keep the position. Since nothing to the contrary is known so far, you can assume that Marissa Jo Cerar, among others, will return as a producer. Nothing is known about planned filming so far, but it stands to reason that filming will continue to take place in Washington DC and Ontario, Canada.

Miller also spoke about the future of the drama series in an interview with online magazine Deadline.

Of course I want [“The Handmaid’s Tale”] never end. […] The team does a fantastic job with the show. So, I’m not going to just say, “Oh, you know, let’s just move on”. […] To be honest, I already know the end of the series and I certainly won’t oversell the quality of the series. However, I’m not going to make a hasty end of the fence either. You know, as long as I’m writing for the show and for Elisabeth Moss, I can’t do much better.

According to Miller’s statements, season 5 will most likely not be the last. Whether “The Handmaid’s Tale” will find its finale with season 6 cannot be deduced from his statements. So you can continue to be curious about the future of the series.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 5: Cast

After the nerve-wracking and satisfying Season 4 finale, it’s clear you’ll only be seeing Joseph Fiennes again in flashbacks as Commander Fred Waterford. His death represents an end as well as a new beginning for June.

It’s likely that you’ll see Elisabeth Moss again as June Osborne and Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy Waterford, who has yet to play an important role.

The stories of OT Fagbenle as Luke Bankole, Max Minghella as Commander Nick Blaine, Bradley Whitford as Commander Joseph Lawrence and Season 4 newcomer Sam Jaeger as Mark Tuello are also unfinished. Therefore, the probability that they will return is very high.

Christine Ko (“Hawaii Five-0”) joins the cast. This is reported by the US magazine The Hollywood Reporter. She will play Lily, a fugitive Martha from Gilead who is now the leader of the resistance movement in Canada. She is fearless and resourceful. Once someone gains Lily’s trust, she becomes a strong ally.

However, the fans now have to say goodbye to actress Alexis Bledel. She will not return in her role as the freed maid Desglen/Emily Malek in season five. Bledel announced her abrupt exit in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
