WATCH: New trailer for darker 'The Handmaid's Tale' season two is here

First ever trailer for the second season of The Handmaid's Tale released on Sunday night (IST). The upcoming season looks grim and Elizabeth Moss' character looks more determined than ever.

The trailer sees June Osborne or Offred (Elisabeth Moss) captured and gagged. But the striking is the image of Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) trading places and thinking position on the window sill with Offred. Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) seems in pain while Moira (Samira Wiley) who managed to escape Gilead, come across traumatised still. 

Set to Buffalo Springfield's song 'Stop Children What's That Sound' the trailer promises drama and more fodder for the brain when the season will premier on April 25.

The Hulu show, which is based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 classic, will have a 13-episode season, which will revolve around and be shaped by the pregnancy of Elisabeth Moss' Offred and her struggle to find her daughter inside Gilead.

According to Entertainment Weekly, veteran actor Marisa Tomei will guest star as a commander's wife in the second episode, set in the Colonies, thus expanding from the original novel's universe.

The executive producer of the show, Bruce Miller said the new instalment will be more horrific than the first spell but will stay true to Atwood's basic premise.

"There's a lot of horror and cruelty and dread in this situation, but there's also a lot of absurdity," he said.

Joseph Fiennes, Alexis Bledel, and Max Minghella also reprise their roles.
