What's Season 3 of The Handmaid's Tale about?
Exec producer of the show, Warren Littlefield, told USA Today that June will head back to Gilead for the next chapter of the story.
He also explained the new series picks up just ten minutes after season two's shocking finale.
Leading actress Elisabeth Moss described the next leg of the journey as “shockingly relevant” and said it should be viewed, digested and reflected upon, rather than binged.
She told the Radio Times: "When people say the show is hard to watch, I get my hackles up.
"If you can’t face our show, then how are you going to face what’s actually happening in the world?”
"It’s important to hold that mirror up to society and to ourselves to try to get people to face what’s going on, before it’s too late."
