Tense 'Handmaid's Tale' Season 3 trailer shows the women of Gilead fighting back

"Blessed be the fruit," intones Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) in the trailer for The Handmaid's Tale Season 3. We've heard her say that since Season 1 as Commander Waterford's dutiful wife, but the tone shift from then to now is unmistakable.

What she really means is: "Fuck this shit."

The trailer for Hulu's returning drama shows June (Elisabeth Moss) and her allies fighting Gilead's powers that be from within. That's an act of supreme subversion from Serena in particular, but she's one of few with the power to change their broken society.

We catch glimpses of every major character, including June's still very-much-alive flame Nick (Max Minghella), Season 2's terrifying new Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), June's friends Moira (Samira Wiley) and Emily (Alexis Bledel), and the ever-formidable Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd). The revolution won't be easy, but it has begun.

The Handmaid's Tale returns to Hulu June 5.
