As fans know, Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) was killed in the show’s dramatic season four finale by June and her fellow handmaids – with the help of Commander Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) and June’s lover Nick Blaine (Max Minghella).
Will Serena and June confront each other in the new episodes?
And now, following his death, his wife Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) has stepped into the role of a “grieving wife” as June puts it and has become a celebrated figure thanks to her miracle pregnancy. Not able to let it rest, it appears that June returns to Gilead in order to seek revenge on Serena too.
In the final moments of the trailer, they are seen having a face-to-face confrontation which could potentially spell the end of one, or both, of them. As June says in voiceover, “You want to fight? Let’s fight.”
Taking to Reddit to discuss, one person wrote: “That last bit, June with the gun. It’s making it seem like June is confronting Serena but it could just be edited that way. Either way I’m excited for June vs Serena!”
Another said: “June vs Serena seeming like it’s gonna be the main focus of this season is so satisfying actually,” and a third added: “This is going to be wild! Can’t wait!”
