“The Testaments” has been renewed for Season 2 at Hulu.
The series, which serves as followup to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” originally debuted in April. The renewal news comes just ahead of the Season 1 finale, which is scheduled to drop on May 27.
The series stars Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti, 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. “Handmaid’s Tale” star Elisabeth Moss returned in a surprise guest appearance, reprising the role of June Osborn.
The logline for the show states that the series follows “young teens Agnes (Infiniti), dutiful and pious, and Daisy (Halliday),
a new arrival and convert from beyond Gilead’s borders. As they navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia’s (Dowd) 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.”
Like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Testaments” is based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name. Bruce Miller created the series and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Warren Littlefield, Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears and Mike Barker also executive produce. Barker also directed the first three episodes and finale. “The Testaments” is produced by MGM Television and 20th Television.
