Hulu has finally shared the official trailer for The Testaments, the upcoming sequel to the award-winning dystopian drama The Handmaid’s Tale. The coming-of-age thriller starring Golden Globe nominee Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another) is scheduled to premiere on April 8 with the first three episodes. This comes nearly a year after the original show had wrapped up its six-season run.
“The series follows young teens Agnes, dutiful and pious, and Daisy, a new arrival and convert from beyond Gilead’s borders. As they navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia’s 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,” reads the official synopsis.
