Hulu has set April 8 for the premiere of The Testaments, the forthcoming sequel series to The Handmaid's Tale, based on Margaret Atwood's novel of the same name.

Created by Handmaid's Tale showrunner and executive producer Bruce Miller, the coming-of-age story is set in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead more than 15 years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, that finds a new generation of young women grappling with the bleak future that awaits them. Handmaid's Tale lead Elisabeth Moss also serves as an executive producer.

It will premiere with the first three episodes on April 8, followed by one new episode weekly thereafter. The series will be available on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally.

Per the official logline, 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.

Principal cast includes Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya, and Kira Guloien.

Miller executive produces along with Warren Littlefield, Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears, and Mike Barker, who will also direct the first three episodes. The Testaments is produced by MGM Television.
