Watch the eerie new teaser trailer for Hulu's 'The Handmaid's Tale' based on Margaret Atwood novel

"I had another name, but it’s forbidden now."

Hulu released the teaser trailer for its upcoming dystopian series The Handmaid's Tale based on the Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel. The 10-episode series stars Elisabeth Moss along with Joseph Fiennes, Samira Wiley, Alexis Bledel and Yvonne Strahovski and is set to debut on April 26, 2017.

The Handmaid's Tale follows Offred, a handmaid played by Moss, who is forced into subjugation in an attempt to repopulate the fictional, male-dominated society of Gilead, a totalitarian regime in what was formerly the United States. Bledel will play Ofglen, Offred's (Elisabeth Moss) fellow handmaid and companion. 

The official trailer description reads: "Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her."
