Hulu Unveils New Trailer for 'The Handmaid's Tale,' Streaming Premiere Set for April 26[teaser]A new teaser for the upcoming streaming series has been released.[/teaser] Hulu has revealed a new Super Bowl spot for 'The Handmaid's Tale.' The streaming show is based on the novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood and is being produced by MGM Television.

In this terrifying society where one wrong word could end her life, Offred navigates between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead -- all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.
