When you’re young and thinking of your life, it’s normal to envision fluffy white clouds, sunshine and rainbows. However, if you grew up in Gilead, your reality is much darker.
Hulu has dropped the first trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale’s sequel series, The Testaments (above), based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name. It officially introduces young teens Agnes (Chase Infiniti), dutiful and pious, and Daisy (Lucy Halliday), a new arrival and convert from beyond Gilead’s borders. Both are connected to Gilead with many secrets yet to be revealed.
As they navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia’s (Ann Dowd) 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.
The cast also includes Mabel Li as Aunt Vidalia, Amy Seimetz as Paula, Brad Alexander as Garth, Rowan Blanchard as Shunammite, Mattea Conforti as Becka Grove, Zarrin Darnell-Martin as Aunt Gabbana, Eva Foote as Aunt Estee, Isolde Ardies as Huldah, Shechinah Mpumlwana as Jehosheba, Birva Pandya as Miriam, and Kira Guloien as Rosa.
The Testaments premiere on April 8 with three episodes, with individual drops weekly thereafter. The series will be available on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally.
The series is created by showrunner and executive producer Bruce Miller and 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 and finale. MGM Television and 20th Television produce the series.
