Even with Fred's (Joseph Fiennes) death in the fourth season finale of Hulu's hit series The Handmaid's Tale, June's (Elisabeth Moss) life won't be getting any easier as she faces fallout from the act while looking to carve out some semblance of a new life. But the threat from Gilead is only getting stronger as the "widow in mourning" Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) is turning Fred's death into a power grab that threatens not only June but the gains made over the past four seasons. And that means only one thing… war. But how far will June go, and how many lines will she cross to end the battle once and for all? Viewers are about to get some big clues to those answers and more with the release of the official Season 5 trailer.
