Hulu renews The Testaments for a second season ahead of finale
Hulu announced on May 20 that it has renewed The Testaments for a second season following the first installment's global streaming success.
Streaming numbers drive renewal decision
The drama series has accumulated more than 45 million hours of views on Hulu and Disney+ since its debut. This viewership milestone prompted the network to greenlight the follow-up project before the current season concluded.
Plot will focus on younger characters
The upcoming installment is expected to continue tracking Agnes and Daisy as they challenge the rules of Gilead. These two women were introduced in the first season attending an elite school for future wives under Aunt Lydia.
Source material expands original universe
The show is based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 novel which adds new perspectives to the world of The Handmaid's Tale. Rowan Blanchard, who plays Shunammite, recently discussed her character's journey in an interview with Teen Vogue.
