Hulu, Disney+ read The Testaments

FIRST LOOK: Anne Dowd, Chase Infiniti and Lucy Halliday lead the cast of The Testaments, a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale coming to Hulu in the US and Disney+ this April.

From the showrunner and executive producers of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments is based on Margaret Atwood’s book of the same name and is described as a dramatic coming-of-age story set in Gilead.

The series follows young teens Agnes, dutiful and pious, and Daisy, a new arrival and convert from beyond Gilead’s borders. As they navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia’s elite preparatory school for future wives, a place where obedience is instilled brutally and always with divine justification, their bond becomes the catalyst that will upend their past, their present, and their future.

Dowd, Infiniti and Halliday star alongside Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien.

The series was created for television by showrunner and executive producer Bruce Miller and is executive produced by Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears, and Mike Barker, who will also direct the first three episodes. The Testaments is produced by MGM Television.

The Testaments launches on Hulu in the US and Disney+ worldwide on April 8, 2026.
