LOS ANGELES — Hulu has released an all-new trailer for “The Testaments” series! It’s a new chapter of the story set in Gilead, following the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, 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.”
Ann Dowd reprises her “The Handmaid’s Tale” role as Aunt Lydia.
The series also introduces Chase Infiniti (“One Battle After Another”) to the franchise, starring alongside Lucy Halliday, Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien.
The trailer begins following Agnes (Infiniti) through a seemingly idyllic Gilead.
“Back then, we still believed in this world. I guess it’s easier to accept a story than believe that the people around you are monsters,” she narrates, until a darker version of Gilead is revealed.
Soon, Daisy (Halliday) shows up to school. She’s a new arrival from Canada, hoping to “save those girls” in Gilead. Agnes and Daisy’s bond starts to cause tension among the girls.
“There comes a time when you have to take action, when you have to choose your own destiny,” Daisy tells Agnes as drama unfolds and the stakes rise.
“The Handmaid’s Tale” showrunner and executive producer Bruce Miller returns. Executive producers are Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears and Mike Barker. Barker directs the first three episodes and the finale.
In January, Hulu released a first look at the show through a series of images.
“The Testaments” premieres April 8 with three episodes, then weekly thereafter. The Hulu original series will be available on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu, Disney+ and this station.
