The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4: Luke Bankole death ‘sealed’ as fans spot worrying clue

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4 Updates: THE HANDMAID’S TALE viewers are worried about June’s husband Luke Bankole’s safety after the main star O.T. Fagbenle was missing from the recent trailer.

A fresh new trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale’s forthcoming fourth season has finally given an interesting look at June Osbourne’s (Elisabeth Moss) continuing fight against Gilead.

Unfortunately, the next installment of Hulu’s famous futuristic drama could be without one of its greatest draws, as co-star O.T. Fagbenle was lacking from the new video.

The dystopian adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s timely science fiction novel is officially returning to theatres this April, after months of coronavirus delays.

Following the turbulent events of last season, a new trailer announced at the end of February introduced June’s new identity as a revolutionary freedom fighter against the oppressive state of Gilead.

However, it appears that her attempt to reunite with her partner, Luke, in Canada could be jeopardized, as Elisabeth Moss’s co-star O.T. Fagbenle does not appear in the new clip.

There’s always a possibility Hulu is keeping June and Luke’s reconciliation under wraps before the series returns on Wednesday, April 28.

Even so, Luke’s notable absence could be cause for alarm as the season premiere approaches.

The latest trailer was recently released on Reddit, where excited viewers flocked to the comments section to reflect on what the mysterious footage might mean for season four.

“While I still want to see their reunion, June joining The Resistance and failing to leave causing trouble until she gets Hannah back seems quite on board with her role while still being a very fun surprise!”

Season four will take up where the third season left off, with June in the hands of her fellow Handmaids after becoming shot by a Gilead guard.

June has effectively broken all relations with the authoritarian system, but she appears to be returning to the remnants of America to reignite the uprising.

Unfortunately, this can jeopardize her attempts to reunite with her family, especially June and Luke’s daughter Hannah (Jordana Blake).

Any worried fans are now worried that anything will happen to Luke before the split pair finds their way back together.

Furthermore, the fact that the new trailer depicts a tender embraces between June and Nick Blaine (Max Minghella) may indicate that Luke will ultimately be removed from the frame.

The Handmaid’s Tale has gained a reputation as one of the tensest tv shows in recent years.

With a fifth season and a sequel display based on Atwood’s follow-up book, The Testaments, on the horizon, viewers are hoping the series won’t be cruel enough to hold the couple apart for much longer.
