20 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2026
10. The Testaments
The Testaments release date: April 2026
The Handmaid's Tale may have finally concluded its run this past May, but of course that's far from the end of the franchise, as a sequel series is soon on the way, based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 follow-up novel The Testaments.
The Testament takes place years after The Handmaid's Tale and will focus on June's (Elisabeth Moss) daughter Agnes - as played by One Battle After Another breakout Chase Infiniti.
Infiniti will be joined by Lucy Halliday as co-lead Daisy, while Ann Dowd will reprise her role as Aunt Lydia, and a supporting role will also be played by Amy Seimetz.
Considering that Handmaid's Tale showrunner Bruce Miller stepped back from the series later in its run to start work on The Testaments, and Atwood wrote the source novel in coordination with the Handmaid's Tale TV show, there's every hope that this follow-up series will further flesh out Gilead in a meaningful way.
