The Handmaid’s Tale concluded its critically lauded six-season run in May 2025. Now, Hulu is bringing viewers back to the same world with The Testaments, a show based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood. This sequel will be set 15 years after the finale of the original show and explore how Gilead has evolved through the eyes of a new generation of women.

Even though the regime is still in power, cracks of dissent and resistance are starting to appear within. Fans of The Handmaid’s Tale will find that even though the new show will have fresh faces leading it, there will be returning characters as well.

Also, it will follow the continuity of the original show. After all, Bruce Miller, who was in charge of The Handmaid’s Tale, is back for this new journey, and Elisabeth Moss will be in an executive producer role on the show.

One of Netflix’s biggest YA shows Ginny & Georgia is about to return with a third season, and while Season 3 is sure to be wild, Season 2 set the stage for that.

It’s been over two years since Season 2 hit Netflix in January 2023, so some details might be fuzzy. The ensemble cast between seasons will remain largely the same, with a few newcomers in the world of wealthy Wellsbury, where Georgia (Brianne Howey) has moved her children Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and Austin (Diesel La Torraca) for their latest chapter of life.

Gilead isn’t finished yet. Though The Handmaid’s Tale closed its final chapter on May 27 after a gripping six-season run, its legacy lives on — through the eyes of a new generation.

Hulu’s next installment, The Testaments, is not just a continuation, but a bold reimagination of Margaret Atwood’s dystopia, diving deeper into the cracks of a crumbling empire.

Brief Details About ‘The Testaments’

If The Handmaid’s Tale was June Osborne’s story, The Testaments belong to the daughters — and the formidable Aunt who’s still standing.

“It’s about Mean Girls growing up Gilead,” says showrunner Bruce Miller, giving a stark and biting preview to Entertainment Weekly.

“It really is about what it’s like to be young and full of energy when the country is trying to turn you into something awful… When all of a sudden they’ve been telling you, ‘you are wonderful, you’re perfect,...

With the Emmy-winning adaptation of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid’s Tale wrapping up the six-season arc of the revolutionary June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss), fans can finally celebrate Boston’s liberation from the authoritarian clutches of Gilead. It’s been a harrowing journey for June since the show’s 2017 premiere, and she can't entirely celebrate with her daughter Hannah still behind Gilead’s borders. With Hulu hard at work on The Testaments, an adaptation of Atwood’s 2019 sequel novel set years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, audiences will get a greater degree of resolution over the future of Hannah and the rest of the women under Gilead’s thumb. Here's how The Handmaid’s Tale’s Season 6 resolution sets up for that highly anticipated follow-up.

How did The Handmaid's Tale end?

At the conclusion of The Handmaid’s Tale, the resistance group Mayday (in collaboration with the U.S. military) successfully...

After 6 seasons of politically-charged, gut-wrenching drama, The Handmaid's Tale has come to an end. With a hugely impactful 66 episodes needing to be wrapped up, Bruce Miller and co nailed the landing with an emotionally moving final outing that saw, among many other plot threads that included the shocking return of Alexis Bledel's Emily, the story of Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) and June (Elisabeth Moss) come to a quiet, affecting end.

After a long-standing bitterness amidst unfortunate circumstances left the two as enemies, the finale tied up their story in the most poignant way possible. With Serena's redemption now complete, one more apology to June was met with the one thing she could never have expected: forgiveness. Now tied by a shared experience and the indescribable bond of motherhood, this could well be the lasting memory of The Handmaid's Tale's final episode for millions of fans who had long been invested in their ever-twisting relationship.

It's still hard to believe, but The Handmaid's Tale has come to an end. Fortunately for fans, the story of Gilead and the handmaids is far from over, as the sequel seriesThe Testaments is already in the works. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Bruce Miller — who helmed all seasons of The Handmaid's Taleand will keep showrunning duties for The Testaments — talked about how this week's series finale ties into the next series, and commented on the possible familiar faces that we will see when the new show kicks off.

So far, we already know that Ann Dowd (The Exorcist: Believer) will reprise her role as Aunt Lydia after she went through a powerful transformation by the end of Season 6. The Testaments will also feature a character that is both old and new: June's (Elisabeth Moss) daughter Hannah, who will be raised away from her mother as "Agnes" and...

Back in 2017, Hulu introduced to the world the series adaptation of Margaret Atwood's best-selling 1985 novel The Handmaid's Tale. Similar to the novel, the series centers on the totalitarian government of Gilead and its cruel method of denying women their basic human rights. At the heart of the series is June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss), who uses every bit of her limited power to challenge the oppressive regime. Eight years in, the dystopian series is now bound to say goodbye, and it still hasn't run out of steam. The sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale has officially earned a Certified Fresh rating on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, accumulating a total of 92% critics' score. It is now the series' second-highest-rated season on the site, trailing behind Season 1’s 94%.

While the other seasons received favorable critics' scores on Rotten Tomatoes, only Seasons 1 and 2 have surpassed the 90% mark, with Season...

The Handmaid’s Tale executive producers Bruce Miller and Warren Littlefield recently explained how Gilead will be portrayed differently in Hulu’s upcoming sequel spinoff The Testaments. Production on the new show began in April 2024, with franchise lead Elisabeth Moss attached as an executive producer.

During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Miller and Littlefield expressed their excitement about The Testaments, introducing a side of Gilead as seen through the eyes of girls who grew up within the totalitarian system. "I think June was at the very bottom of the ladder in Gilead. She was barely considered a woman," Miller said. "But her daughter, Agnes Mackenzie, who's still stuck in Gilead, is at the very top of the order. So, what you realize is that they're incredibly valued by Gilead, but it doesn't matter. Being at the top or being at the bottom is still sh***y for a woman in Gilead.

Hulu is set to continue its exploration of dystopian Gilead with The Testaments, the anticipated The Handmaid's Tale sequel. The series has just announced nine new cast members, including Mabel Li and Amy Seimetz, who join previously announced castmates Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Ann Dowd (who reprises her The Handmaid's Tale role of Aunt Lydia), Rowan Blanchard, and Mattea Conforti. The other seven actors rounding out the cast are Brad Alexander, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya, and Kira Guloien.

Based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 novel of the same name, The Testaments is set 15 years after The Handmaid's Tale. The novel is told from the perspectives of three female narrators, Aunt Lydia, Agnes Jemima, and Daisy, and takes place within the dystopian Republic of Gilead. It examines the ways people fight back against oppression and the nature of control.
