The Handmaid's Tale S04: Revisit Serena's Story- A Journey Not in Vain

With only a little more than three weeks to go until the fourth season of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale comes storming back to the streaming service, viewers have been getting brought up to speed on where the show's main players stand heading into its return. Previously, we had a chance to look back at June's (Elisabeth Moss) journey ahead of her fight to bring freedom to Gilead, followed by a reminder of the tragedy and loss Amanda Brugel's Rita endured. This time around, the spotlight shines on Yvonne Strahovski's Serena Joy Waterford, Fred's (Joseph Fiennes) wife and one who helped create the Hell that is Gilead. Her faith tested, Serena is looking for the freedom to move beyond the past- but can she? Or more importantly, should she be allowed to?

Here's a look at where Serena's journey has taken her and where it's poised to go heading into the fourth season of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale– premiering on the streamer on April 28:

Now here's a look back at June's time in Gilead and the journey that led her out of it (one that will lead her back there this season- but in a much different role):

Here's your look at the official trailer followed by two previous teasers for Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale:

When COVID delays began happening last summer, Moss offered some insight into how the production was dealing with the shutdown: "Yes, we have a production call, every week, and we have a producer call, every week. There have been a lot of emails, a lot of Zooms, and a lot of conversations. One of the great things that our line producer has done is basically gone to every single department and talked to them, and picked their brain and tried to figure out what their daily process is, and what they're looking for, and what they need, in order to feel safe, which I think is a really important part of it. There's a lot of stuff that's above my pay grade and above my head, that we're all reading about in the Hollywood Reporter."

Moss continued, "But for us, as producers, and for most producers, it's about, how do you do it and be safe? That's all. Human life is not worth making a TV show for. Everyone wants to go back to work because we love what we do, and there's also people that need to support their families and themselves. The producers contributed to a fund for our crew, that is out of our own pockets and has nothing to do with our larger corporation. We put a lot of money into it, and we've been keeping our crew going through that and supporting them being out of work. But we've gotta do it safely, and we're just trying to figure that out. It's all-new territory, and we're all in the same boat here."

Produced by MGM Television and internationally distributed by MGM, The Handmaid's Tale stars Moss, Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovski, Samira Wiley, Alexis Bledel, Ann Dowd, Max Minghella, Madeline Brewer, O-T Fagbenle, Amanda Brugel, Bradley Whitford, and Sam Jaeger.
