The new trailer for season three of The Handmaid's Tale has been released.

The Hulu drama stars Elisabeth Moss as Offred and depicts a dystopian version of the US known as Gildead.

Styled as a political ad, the teaser for the upcoming series opens with a message about more women in the workplace.

"Today, more women will go to work than ever before in our country’s history," a narrator says as images of wheat and women carrying babies appears. "This year, dozens of children will be born to happy and healthy families."

The clip soon takes a dark turn with fiery visuals before the camera closes in on Offred's face. 

Her voice then takes over, saying: "Wake up America, morning’s over."

We then see blocks of handmaids in front of a restyled version of the Washington Monument, indicating the show is moving from Boston to the US capital.

A release date for season three was not revealed, only that it is "coming soon".
