The Handmaid's Taleis adding two very familiar faces to the call sheet for Season 3.

Hulu has announced that Christopher Meloni and Elizabeth Reaser will guest star on the show as Commander Winslow and his wife, a pair who will host the Waterfords for a trip.

Reaser's character is expected to become a new source of friendship for the endlessly watchable Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski). We don't yet know whether the ideologies of the new couple will fall in line with the fundamentalists running the place right now, or if they'll be more like Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) and quietly buck the system.

Everything We Know About The Handmaid's Tale Season 3

As fans will recall from the second season finale, Serena gave June (Elisabeth Moss)'s baby back to her in the finale's final moments after painfully realizing the inescapable danger of being female in Gilead, but whether her change of heart about the system she helped create will hold firm remains to be seen.

What we do know is that June's stunning decision to stick around after finally finding an escape route will play out in the new season, as she attempts to fight back against the tyrannical regime and try to rescue her first daughter Hannah (Jordana Blake) from it as well.

The Handmaid's Tale Season 3 will premiere on Hulu sometime in 2019. Under his eye.
