What is The Testaments?
- The Testaments is the Hulu/Disney+ drama sequel set in the world of The Handmaid’s Tale, focusing on younger generations in Gilead. It features returning ensemble members and a new generation of actors.[2][3]
Key cast highlights
- Ann Dowd returns as Aunt Lydia, anchoring the series in the same universe as The Handmaid’s Tale.[2]

These names appear across multiple outlets confirming their involvement.[5][3][2]
- Elisabeth Moss is noted as having an executive producer role; there was prior speculation about whether she would reprise June, but public confirmations about an in-front-of-camera return remained uncertain through mid-2026. This distinction between behind-the-scenes involvement and on-screen return has been a recurring point in press coverage.[2]
