Hulu has officially ordered The Testaments as a new series and the full cast has been announced ahead of production beginning on April 7.
The upcoming show is a follow-up series to The Handmaid’s Tale and is based on the sequel novel written by Margaret Atwood.
More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third: Aunt Lydia. Her complex past and uncertain future unfold in surprising and pivotal ways.
Watch the season six trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale ahead of its April 8 debut. It’s expected that Elisabeth Moss will make a guest appearance on The Testaments at some point.
