The Handmaid’s Tale season two already looks totally terrifying

Praise be!

After just one episode, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale had us completely and utterly hooked.

Yes, the show was one of our stand-outs from 2017 and we’ve been eagerly anticipating season two ever since.

While there might be another while until the actual release, Hulu is teasing the upcoming season with some seriously spooky images.

Showrunner Bruce Miller has promised that season two will be even more intense than the first and that fans should expect some terrifying twists and turns along the way.

And if these new images are anything to go by, we’re in for a serious ride.

Season two will explore the world of Gilead even further and will also follow Alexis Bledel’s Emily into a whole new world – the colonies.

Yes, we heard a lot about it in season one but next season will bring us inside the place where disobedient handmaids go to be punished.

“Everything from the design of their costumes to the way they look is so chilling,” Miller told EW of the story behind the revealed pictures of a funeral scene.

“These scenes that are so beautiful, while set in such a terrible place, provide the kind of contrast that makes me happy.”

And if that doesn’t have you excited, Elizabeth Moss’ recent comments on the next season surely will.

“There is literally no way that anyone can guess what happens.

“You can try, but you won’t do it.”

The second season of The Handmaid’s Tale is due to air on 25 April on Hulu.

UPDATE: 

An official trailer for season two has surfaced:
