Hulu Unveils First-Look Images for The Testaments Sequel

Hulu has unveiled first-look images for "The Testaments," a sequel series to the acclaimed dystopian drama "The Handmaids Tale," set to premiere on the streaming platform in April 2026. The images, revealed at the CCXP convention in Brazil, feature returning star Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia and newcomer Chase Infiniti in the role of Agnes, alongside other young actors portraying a new generation navigating life in the oppressive regime of Gilead.

Based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name, "The Testaments" unfolds approximately 15 years after the events of the original series. It centers on a coming-of-age narrative involving young women raised entirely within Gilead, the theocratic society that has supplanted the United States. These characters, having no recollection of the world before the regime's rise, confront the realities of arranged marriages and enforced servitude. The story follows their efforts to forge alliances and pursue freedom, with perspectives from Agnes, Daisy, and Aunt Lydia intertwining as they challenge the system.
