A spin-off centered on the young girls of Gilead, trained to become good wives. Including Agnes, the daughter of June Osborne…
Chase Infinity may have missed out on the Oscar nomination for One Battle After Another, but the actress remains right in the heart of the zeitgeist. The 25-year-old American actress is one of the young Hollywood actresses to follow very closely. That’s good: we’ll find her again this spring in The Testaments.
She will play the daughter of June Osborne (Elizabeth Moss) in the sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, which will focus on the network of young girls from Gilead, kidnapped to be recruited and trained to become good wives…
Disney has set the launch date for The Testaments: the first three episodes will be released online on April 8, then it will be a weekly broadcast.
Like The Handmaid’s Tale, the spin-off is adapted from a novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood.
The cast will also have Ann Dowd return as Aunt Lydia, attempting to respond after becoming aware of Gilead in the final season.
Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien complete the cast.
At the creation, we find Bruce Miller, already at the origin of the television adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, who serves here as creator, executive producer and showrunner.
The official synopsis details: “The series offers an initiatory story taking place in Gilead. It follows the destiny of two teenagers: Agnes, pious and devoted, and Daisy, a newcomer who gradually discovers the ruthless rules of this theocratic regime. Both join Aunt Lydia’s prestigious school, an establishment where obedience is brutally imposed in the name of an alleged divine morality. Their meeting will turn their lives upside down and become the engine of a profound change, challenging question their past, their present and their future.
