‘The Testaments’ Premiere & First Look at Chase Infiniti in ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Spinoff (PHOTOS)

Hulu has revealed first-look images and premiere month for The Testaments, a spinoff of The Handmaid’s Tale starring Ann Dowd, One Battle After Another breakout Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Rowan Blanchard, and more.

The Testaments is based on Margaret Atwood‘s Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name, which was published in 2019 and takes place in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead. Years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments is a coming-of-age story that finds a new generation of young women in Gilead grappling with the bleak future that awaits them. For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, having no tangible memories of the outside world prior to their indoctrination into this life. Facing the prospect of being married off and living a life of servitude, they will be forced to search for allies, both new and old, to help in their fight for freedom and the life they deserve.

This marks the first spinoff of The Handmaid’s Tale, which released its final season from April to May 2025. Here’s a breakdown of Hulu’s announcement, shared during CCXP25 Brazil on Saturday, December 6.
