'The Handmaid's Tale' Season 2 trailer wants everybody to look what's going down
Watch Next

If you thought The Handmaid's Tale couldn't possibly get any darker or more disturbing than Season 1, allow the first Season 2 trailer to disabuse you of that notion.

There's no actual dialogue in the video, just a lot of haunting imagery – of women and men being abused, of the barren Colonies, of a pissed-off June (a.k.a. Offred) looking ready to burn it all down.

All of it is set to a creepy slowed-down of Buffalo Springfield, because apparently not even Gilead is immune to that particular trailer trend.

The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 premieres April 25.
