‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Sequel ‘The Testaments’ First Look: Chase Infiniti and a New Generation of Gilead Women Fight for Freedom
Hulu has unveiled a first look at “The Testaments,” the upcoming sequel series to “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
The series, which is set to premiere in April 2026, is based on “The Handmaid’s Tale” author Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel of the same name and is set in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead years after the events of the original series. “The Testaments,” per the official logline, “is a coming of age story that finds a new generation of young women in Gilead grappling with the bleak future that awaits them. For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, having no tangible memories of the outside world prior to their indoctrination into this life. Facing the prospect of being married off and living a life of servitude, they will be forced to search for allies, both new and old, to help in their fight for freedom and the life they deserve.
The cast includes Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana and Birva Pandya.
Bruce Miller created “The Testaments” and serves as showrunner. He also executive produces alongside Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears and Mike Barker, who will direct the first three episodes. MGM Television is the studio.
Based on Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name, “The Handmaid’s Tale” ran on Hulu for six seasons, premiering in 2017 and concluding earlier this year.
