‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Sequel Series ‘The Testaments’ Renewed by Hulu for Season 2
As it is (now) written, Hulu has renewed The Testaments for a second season.
Season one has passed 45 million hours streamed globally on Hulu and Disney+, the streamers say, and it is not even finished — the season finale debuts next Wednesday, May 27.
The Testaments is described as “a dramatic coming-of-age story set in Gilead,” per the synopsis. It “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.”
