News The Testaments Because Real Life Isn’t Misogynistic and Infuriating Enough, Here’s the First Trailer for The Testaments The Handmaid’s Tale sequel comes complete with the requisite hanging bodies scene! By Molly Templeton | Published on March 5, 2026 Screenshot: Hulu Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Hulu Hulu has released the first trailer for The Testaments, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood. The book is a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, which showrunner Bruce Miller expanded into a six-season, award-winning, nigh-unwatchably brutal series starring Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne. At the start of that story, June’s daughter was taken from her, sent to be raised by the elite of Gilead. Not that being raised among the elite will protect you. The Testaments takes place 15 years after that fateful moment, following that stolen child as she begins to understand the horrors of her world. Here’s the synopsis: An evolution of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments is 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. The Testaments was created by Handmaid’s Tale showrunner Miller; Handmaid’s star Elisabeth Moss is a producer, though it remains to be seen if she will appear on screen. The adaptation stars Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another) as Agnes, with Ann Dowd returning to the role of Aunt Lydia. The bulk of the cast is made up of fairly new faces, including Lucy Halliday as Daisy. Miller has said the series should stand alone: “You should be able to turn on the first episode and enjoy it like a drama,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. If you have the stomach for a return to Gilead, The Testaments premieres April 8 on Hulu.[end-mark] The post Because Real Life Isn’t Misogynistic and Infuriating Enough, Here’s the First Trailer for <i>The Testaments</i> appeared first on Reactor.
