The Emmy-winning series 'The Handmaid's Tale' ended its six-season run on May 27, but a sequel project is in the works. The Testaments, a spinoff series, is currently in production and will follow a new generation of young women growing up in Gilead.

What happened in The Handmaid's Tale series finale?

Gilead was dealt a lethal blow in "Execution," the penultimate episode of The Handmaid's Tale, when June (Elisabeth Moss) and Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) schemed with Commander Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) to sneak a bomb onto a plane filled with Gilead commanders.

In the final episode, June is reunited with old friends (like Alexis Bledel's Emily Malek) and family, including her mother, Holly Maddox (Cherry Jones), and her younger daughter, Nichole.

Boston is free, but June's fight isn't over. She is headed to Colorado to find her older daughter, Hannah, who is still living under Gilead's rule.

What is The Testaments about?

The Testaments is based on the 2019 book of the same name by Margaret Atwood. The novel is a sequel set 15 years after her 1985 original, The Handmaid's Tale.

The upcoming spinoff series takes place "somewhere around three or four years after" the events of The Handmaid's Tale show, Miller told Variety. The Testaments will follow June's daughter, Hannah (or Agnes, as she has been renamed by Gilead), and a new generation of young women growing up in Gilead, "grappling with the bleak future that awaits them."

Who is in the cast of The Testaments?

The Testaments cast is led by Ann Dowd, reprising her role of Aunt Lydia.

The rest of the series' cast includes Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Eva Foote, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya, and Kira Guloien.

When will The Testaments premiere?

Production on The Testaments started in April 2025. A premiere date for the series has not been announced.
