How to watch ‘The Testaments’ series premiere free: Time, cast

Exactly one year after the final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” premiered, its sequel is making its way to Hulu.

“The Testaments,” a new 10-episode series, is based on Margaret Atwood’s “Handmaid’s Tale” sequel novel of the same name and takes place years after the action of the original series.

“One Battle After Another” breakout Chase Infiniti leads “The Testaments” as Agnes MacKenzie (also known as Hannah, the daughter of June/Offred on “The Handmaid’s Tale”). The series follows teenagers Agnes and Daisy (Lucy Halliday) as they come of age in Gilead, grappling with the bleak future and navigating the halls of Aunt Lydia’s prep school for future wives.

Ann Dowd is set to reprise her “Handmaid’s Tale” role as Aunt Lydia in the new sequel.
