The story continues with The Testaments, which begins about four years after the events of the first series. While based on Margaret Atwood’s sequel novel of the same name, the show makes some changes, particularly to the timeline. The book takes place 15 years after the end of The Handmaid’s Tale novel, but the show adjusts this because the original Hulu series continued June’s story much further than the book did. This new installment shifts the focus to two young women: Agnes, played by Chase Infiniti, who is the daughter of a Commander preparing for marriage, and Daisy, played by Lucy Halliday, a new recruit among the Pearl Girls – missionaries who spread Gilead’s teachings and train to become Aunts.
