The last season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” will premiere on Hulu on April 8th, but with a new series called “The Testaments” in development, the story continues to unfold, and we’ve got exciting news! On Thursday, it was revealed that Chase Infiniti has been cast as one of the leading roles in “The Testaments.” She will be joining Anne Dowd, who is expected to reprise her role from “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Aunt Lydia. According to Deadline, filming for the series, which has been in development since 2022, is planned to start at the end of March, although an official series order has not been confirmed yet.
The book titled ‘The Testaments’ is a continuation of Margaret Atwood’s novel with the same name, which itself follows the storyline of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. The television series was based on the latter. The narrative unfolds in the dystopian society of Gilead, 15 years after the events depicted in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. The story is primarily told from Aunt Lydia’s perspective and follows two female characters, Agnes and Daisy, whose lives become entwined as they both uncover secrets within Gilead and its resistance movement.
Infiniti has been cast as Agnes in the series The Testaments, a role she made notable by playing Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Negga’s daughter in Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent. According to recent reports, Agnes is portrayed as June (Elisabeth Moss) and Luke’s (O-T Fagbenle) child in the television series, a relationship hinted at in the novel but not explicitly stated. It remains undecided whether Elisabeth Moss will appear in the sequel to the series. Bruce Miller, who served as showrunner for the initial five seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale, is set to take on the same role for The Testaments. He will collaborate with fellow executive producer Warren Littlefield from The Handmaid’s Tale.
Although [Handmaid’s Tale] was initially created during the Obama administration, when we were filming Episode 4 of Season 1, Trump assumed office. Initially, we hoped that our series would become less relevant, but as time passed, it seemed to resonate more and more with current events. Regrettably, the themes in our show became even more pertinent, and now, as we contemplate [Testaments], it seems there’s a need to preserve this world.
What Does The Testaments Mean for the Final Season of The Handmaid’s Tale?
As for where the final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” might head, it remains uncertain at this moment. However, we might find some clues by examining Margaret Atwood’s novel “The Testaments,” which could serve as a guide—and perhaps not a story with a cheerful conclusion. Though Atwood stated when the book was initially announced in 2018 that “The Testaments” is not linked to the TV adaptation of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Bruce Miller has previously hinted that the novel’s plot will be considered as “The Handmaid’s Tale” comes to a close—a possibility that seems more plausible with Infiniti’s casting of Agnes.
Previously, Miller mentioned that “The Testaments” was a unique addition to the series, conceived by Margaret Atwood independently. He added that she had been contemplating this idea for some time. Miller emphasized his effort to ensure that “The Handmaid’s Tale” stands on its own merit and can be enjoyed without reference to “The Testaments.” He hopes that when “The Handmaid’s Tale” is complete, it will be a satisfying TV show, much like the novel, which you can place on a shelf alongside it. Ideally, this TV show will enhance your enjoyment of “The Testaments” when you decide to read it next.
He commented, “Margaret’s method, which is fantastic, involves closing one container and stating, ‘I don’t need to open this right now.’ Instead, let’s move on to the next one and discover its contents. It could be anything unexpected.” This approach creates a sense of continuation, but each step feels like starting a new chapter with endless possibilities ahead.
