Yesterday, Hulu officially handed a series order to the Handmaid's Tale sequel The Testaments. Based on the 2019 novel by Margaret Atwood, production on the new drama will kick off next week.
The coming-of-age story finds a new generation of young women in Gilead, grappling with the bleak future that awaits them. For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, having no tangible memories of the outside world before their indoctrination into this life. Facing the prospect of being married off and living a life of servitude, they will be forced to search for allies, both new and old, to help in their fight for freedom and the life they deserve.
The drama will star Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien.
Bruce Miller developed the drama and will serve as showrunner. He will also executive produce with Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears and director Mike Marker. Priscilla Poriand will co-executive producer. MGM Television and The Littlefield Company will produce.
