"The Testaments is set to drop its first three episodes on April 8, 2026, on Hulu and Disney+, and will take place roughly 15 years after the original series. Just as Atwood's novel focused on the daughters of June Osborne (played by Elisabeth Moss), so too will The Testaments. Chase Infiniti, of One Battle After Another fame, will star as Agnes, the daughter June was forced to leave behind when she became a handmaiden."
"The sequel series has quietly been in the works for some time now; Hulu gave fans a first look during Brazil's CCXP in 2025, and now the streamer just announced a release date. The series will premiere a year after the final season of The Handmaid's Tale, making for a seamless transition between the old and new. In The Testaments, the next generation takes up the fight against Gilead."
