After ending in 2025, the impact of The Handmaid’s Tale is still palpable.
Now lead director Mike Barker is expanding on the story that drew in audiences with The Testaments, a new show that serves as a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale. This new series will premiere on April 8, and is based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 book of the same name, which takes place 15 years after the happenings of the original novel and show. Following the premiere, episodes will air weekly.
For a quick refresher on the happenings of The Handmaid’s Tale, all you need to know is that a totalitarian Christian fundamentalist regime called the Republic of Gilead overthrew the U.S. government and took it upon itself to restrict women’s rights. Under this dystopian rulership, fertile women known as Handmaids were forced into sexual servitude to bear children for the elite. The sequel is narrated by three women: Aunt Lydia and two young women, Agnes and Daisy. The story follows these women’s first-person accounts of the downfall of the Gilead regime. Aunt Lydia is played by Ann Dowd, Agnes is played by Chase Infiniti and Daisy is played by Lucy Halliday.

Where to Watch The Testaments Online
The best way to catch the new sequel is via Disney+ and Hulu.
$12.99
While you could subscribe to either or streaming platforms, the most cost-effective way to watch is via the Disney+ and Hulu bundle. A standalone Disney+ subscription will run users $12 a month with ads, while a standalone subscription to Hulu also runs users $12 a month with ads. If you choose not to bundle, you’ll be paying up to $24 with those pesky ads included. The bundle with ads will run users $12.99 a month, while the no-ad plan costs $19.99 a month.
$12.99
With your subscription, you’ll gain access to both Disney+ and Hulu’s extensive library of shows and films for the price of one — that includes The Testaments. Disney+ features content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic, among others, while Hulu also has Hulu Originals along with its library of media. The new series is just one of many engaging shows and films that you can stream with the bundle. There’s Ryan Murphy’s The Beauty and the Jared Leto-led film Tron: Ares, along with returning hits like The Pitt, Tell Me Lies, The Bear, Shōgun, Only Murders in the Building and, of course, The Handmaid’s Tale.
