Hulu has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original drama series The Testaments, a spinoff of the Emmy Award-winning series The Handmaid's Tale.

A dramatic coming-of-age story set in Gilead, 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.
The drama stars Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Ann Dowd, Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien.
Bruce Miller developed the drama based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. He executive produces with Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears and director Mike Barker. MGM Television, The Littlefield Company, Daniel Wilson Productions, White Oak Pictures and Toluca Pictures produce.
