Fans Can’t Believe ‘The Testaments’ is Officially Happening with Elisabeth Moss at the Helm!

Well, well, well, if it isn’t Gilead making a grand return to our screens, and this time, they’ve brought a whole new generation along for the ride! Hulu and MGM Television are rolling out the red carpet for “The Testaments,” the sequel to the groundbreaking “The Handmaid’s Tale,” with a production start date set for April 7. And who’s steering this ship? None other than Elisabeth Moss, who will be reprising her role as executive producer while also flexing her acting muscles in the original series. Talk about multitasking!

Now, let’s address the cast, shall we? Joining Moss and the ever-memorable Aunt Lydia, played by Ann Dowd, are a slew of fresh faces including Chase Infiniti as Agnes and Lucy Halliday as Daisy. This ensemble is set to create quite the stir in a series that promises to delve deeper into the murky waters of Gilead. If you’ve been living under a rock, Agnes is none other than the daughter of our beloved June Osborne, and she’s about to serve up a hefty dose of coming-of-age drama.

Adapted from Margaret Atwood’s 2019 sequel novel, this new series is crafted by Bruce Miller, who is no stranger to the horrors and heartbreaks of Gilead, having helmed the original series since its inception. The Testaments is expected to pick up where we left off, exploring the struggles of young women in a dystopian society that has stripped them of their autonomy. Imagine being raised in a world where your future is dictated by a regime that thrives on oppression. Sounds like a real party, right?

But fear not! Our heroines will be on a quest for allies, both familiar and unexpected, as they navigate the treacherous waters of Gilead. And let’s not forget Moss’s personal journey as a mother during the filming of the final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which she described as a “visceral emotional experience.” Oh, the irony of playing a mother in a world where motherhood is weaponized!

As we gear up for this new chapter, let’s hope this sequel serves up a cocktail of empowerment and rebellion. After all, nothing says “Girl Power” quite like staging an uprising in a totalitarian regime. So, buckle up, folks—Gilead is back, and it’s ready to reclaim the spotlight.
