Hold onto your hats, because the extended trailer for Season 3 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ has just arrived, and it promises a whirlwind of action as June battles the oppressive regime of Gilead. The resistance is not just on the horizon; it has arrived, and June is right in the thick of it.
June’s voiceover sets the tone: “If I’m going to change things, I’m going to need allies.” This hints at her potential partnerships with some powerful women, including Serena Waterford, the Commander’s wife, and Aunt Lydia. In a world where strategic alliances can mean life or death, June is clearly ready to play the game with her “frenemies.”
Cliffhangers from Season 2
The finale of Season 2 left viewers with plenty of cliffhangers: Why does June stay in Gilead instead of escaping to Canada with Emily and her baby? What are her plans for rescuing her daughter Hannah? And what’s the status of Serena Joy and Fred’s tumultuous marriage?
In the new trailer, while some answers remain elusive, we do get a few tantalizing glimpses. It appears June’s friend Emily did manage to escape with Nick’s baby—possibly reuniting with Luke, who is seen holding a baby while June watches on a tablet, visibly emotional.
Serena and Fred’s Relationship
Serena and Fred seem to be maintaining their marriage, as he includes her in a secret meeting with powerful men. June’s comment that Serena has “influence” is met with a cautionary “up to a point,” but June’s retort, “So move the point,” suggests she’s ready to push boundaries. Will this lead to more severe consequences for Serena, recalling her previous run-ins with Gilead’s men?
Aunt Lydia and Commander Lawrence
Aunt Lydia seems to be back, still as intimidating as ever, and Commander Lawrence (played by a notable actor) appears to be engaging with June to support her cause—though we can’t help but wonder if he has ulterior motives.
Emotional Moments
We also see a touching moment where June reunites with Nick, with hints of intimacy. However, the trailer doesn’t shy away from turmoil; we catch brief glimpses of June’s home ablaze and a poignant scene of her kneeling beside Hannah’s sleeping form, leaving us anxious about what lies ahead for their relationship.
June concludes the trailer with a glimmer of hope: “At least there’s still hope if I’m here. Now, Mom’s got work.” Mark your calendars for June 5th, when Season 3 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ premieres.
