SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of “The Handmaid’s Tale” sequel series, “The Testaments,” now streaming on Hulu.
The first season of “The Testaments” came to an end Wednesday with its Season 1 finale. And blessed be the fruit, because Variety‘s got the answer to what is sure to be your very first question: When is Season 2 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” sequel series coming?
According to creator and showrunner Bruce Miller, “we’re writing the show, we’re breaking the season.”
There, now that you know that much, we can rewind to where we find Agnes (Chase Infinti), Daisy (Lucy Halliday) and their friends by the end of the season. For Daisy and Agnes, the answer is very much a “don’t let the bastards grind you down” attitude, per their stone-cold-determined walk with Shunammite (Rowan Blanchard) through the halls of Aunt Lydia’s (Ann Dowd) school for Gileads’ plums. Despite the fact Agnes has lost her marriage prospect and is back at school as a plum, and Daisy gave up her chance to escape out of Gilead and decided to go back in undercover, knowing that she is now a plum herself and will be ripe for marriage, they’re all in this together.
“When I see in that finale, those three girls walking down the hall, I get chills talking about it,” “The Testaments” guest star and executive producer Elisabeth Moss told Variety. “It makes me cry every time I watch it. It’s so inspiring, it’s so emotional, it’s so exciting. So the fact that we have all that, that we have them dealing with these gigantic stakes, and then at the same time, having everyday, normal concerns that a teenage girl or boy would go through is, that’s life.”
