A year on from watching Elisabeth Moss’s character June liberate Boston from the iron-clad hands of Gilead’s theocratic regime, next part ofThe Handmaid’s Tale story has arrived. The final episode of the sequel series, The Testaments, lands next week (27 May) – and, praise be, season two has been confirmed. There are currently nine episodes of Margaret Atwood’s Booker Prize-winning sequel The Testaments streaming in the UK, picking up five years after June’s rebellion, with a whole new generation. Starring One Battle After Another’s Chase Infiniti and newcomer Lucy Halliday, the series has garnered critical acclaim. The Independent’s reviewer awarded it four stars, describing it as “Bridgerton meets Lord of the Flies, [and] a young adult epic for the ages.”The Testaments follows June’s daughter Agnes Mackenzie, also known as Hannah, as she’s raised within Gilead under the watch of Aunt Lydia, training to become a Wife. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in April last year, returning showrunner Bruce Miller described the series as “like Mean Girls growing up in Gilead”, with a coming-of-age feel.
