Synopsis:

An evolution of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments is 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.

**What is The Testaments about?**

The Testaments book picks up 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s divided into three stories: Aunt Lydia’s and those of two young women, Agnes and Daisy. Agnes lives in Gilead, while Daisy lives in Canada. Here’s the official synopsis from Hulu:

“For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, having no tangible memories of the outside world prior to their indoctrination into this life… Facing the prospect of being married off and living a life of servitude, they will be forced to search for allies, both new and old, to help in their fight for freedom and the life they deserve.”

If the names sound familiar, they should. Agnes is, of course, Hannah — June’s daughter who was ripped from her when Gilead took over. And Daisy is Nichole, the daughter June had with Luke.

“It’s a look at the lives of these young women and Hannah and her friends, who were at the very top of the heap, and about to be married, whereas June was at the bottom of the heap,” Miller told TV Guide. “It’s all these wonderful things and all these horrible things. If you’re in Gilead, a lesson that Agnes, or, excuse me, Hannah, will learn is that whether you’re on the top or the bottom, it’s difficult to be a woman in Gilead and it’s difficult to live in a world that doesn’t respect them.”
