The Testaments Season 1 finale featured a fleeting cameo that some fans completely missed11:45, 27 May 2026The Testaments fans almost missed a major guest appearance in the Season 1 finale.‌*Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Testaments Episode 10.*‌The Handmaid's Tale sequel has finally dropped its tenth episode, and with it came some surprises. Picking up from last week's instalment, the episode dives back into Becka Grove's (played by Mattea Conforti) scandal.‌As you'll remember, Becka brutally killed her father after learning that he had been abusing her friends during their dentist appointments. She was consequently taken away by The Eyes and locked in a mystery facility.Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) pays Becka a visit in the opening scenes of the finale, and she is escorted by a female guard played by the legendary Margaret Atwood.In the brief scene, Atwood's character tells Lydia "don't agitate her," before walking off screen.‌Many fans instantly recognised Atwood as the story's author but others didn't place her at all.Taking to Facebook, one fan penned: "Also did anyone else peep the Margaret Atwood cameo?" with a second replying: "Yes! I did catch Margaret’s cameo [...] it was perfection."‌Reddit users also spotted the novelist, with one posting: "I literally screamed "MARGARET ATWOOD!!!" and my husband in the other room said 'cameo, then?'"But some viewers completely missed the Easter egg. "Ooo wait what part was it? I don't know what she looks like," said one.Yet another fan exclaimed: "I missed it! Where was she???"‌If you also didn't spot Atwood's guest appearance, you'll find it at around five minutes into Episode 10.Although it comes as a shock to viewers, the Canadian author had already teased her cameo before the series premiere.‌"I have a cameo in ['The Testaments'], though I can't say as what, except that it's scowly," she revealed on her website.The rest of the cast had kept it under wraps, but Conforti has admitted she was quite star struck to meet the author in real life."I was a big Margaret Atwood fan before I met her," Conforti told Woman and Home.Article continues belowShe continued: "I was excited to meet her, and speak with her about the world we were building that she created. She is just such an intelligent and strong woman, and you can just feel that aura when you're around her and you can just feel that presence when you step into a room that she's in."The Testaments is streaming now on Disney+
