SERENA Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) returns as one of the wives of Gilead.

HBO Asia will be premiering the third season of the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning hit drama series, The Handmaid’s Tale, on 6 June across Asia, exclusively on HBO GO, with three new episodes and subsequent episodes released every Thursday.

The 13-episode third season is driven by June’s resistance to the dystopian regime of Gilead and her struggle to strike back against overwhelming odds. Startling reunions, betrayals and a journey to the terrifying heart of Gilead force all characters to take a stand, guided by one defiant prayer: “Blessed be the fight.”
