What then? Frankly, there's no better time to have that opinion, as season 2 has already been renewed by Hulu and Disney+ .

The news came a week before the explosive season 1 finale , which saw Becka (Mattea Conforti) get married to Garth (Brad Alexander) in order to save her reputation, Agnes' (Chase Infiniti) engagement being broken off for being too close to Dr. Grove's (Randal Edwards) murder, and Daisy (Lucy Halliday) breaking back into Gilead to help save Becka's life. In a heartbreaking
scene, we saw Becka emotionally getting married while her mother took the rap for murdering her father, with episode 9 having revealed that Becka was actually the one behind it. We've also got romantic tension brewing between Becka and Agnes, with the two sharing a kiss before the ceremony.

If you've read Margaret Atwood's original novel, you'll know that we're only part of the way through adapting it. So what can we expect from The
Testaments season 2 ? The Testaments season 2 release date window predictions The Testaments | Trailer | Hulu - YouTube Watch On As of right now, release date predictions for season 2 are sketchy. Production hasn't even started
yet, and we've got no idea when this might change.

Based on this, we can assume that the earliest we'd see new episodes is mid 2027, but my hunch tells me that we might be waiting until 2028. The Testaments season 2 trailer: is there one? Not yet, and that won't change for a while. It took us until the beginning of March 2026 to get one for season
1, so expect the first full trailer to arrive around four weeks before the second season does. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

June's youngest daughter is originally Daisy in the novel, but in the TV
show, Daisy is a completely separate character. It remains to be seen if this will be addressed or if June's other daughter will be revealed as someone else.

While the plot is likely to differ from what's in the book, we can expect the Aunts to leak incriminating information about Gilead's elite into Canada,
with more Mayday operatives to be revealed as the season continues. Will
there be more seasons of The Testaments? (Image credit: Hulu) As of writing, it's difficult to say but depending on what season 2 includes, there could still be more scope for adaptation in season 3 and beyond. The Handmaid's
Tale used Atwood's novel as a launchpad to develop over six seasons, so creative license is likely.

"I always have to think in forever terms that because you never know whether you're going to be renewed," creator Bruce Miller told TechRadar. "In the old days, they would pull your card in the middle of the day where you'd be on episode 4 of season 2, and then you wouldn't have anything left. We've been very, very generously given lots of space and time to think about our
endings.

"I tried very hard to think about the characters and their stories in a much more general way. What are they doing day to day? How are they living? How
are they figuring things out? So season 1 is really about Agnes awakening,
and by the end, it's just the beginning.

"Every ending in Margaret's world is always a very good beginning," Miller continues. "So I think I don't think of in terms of number of seasons. But if you think of the awakening of a 14/15 year-old girl, her coming to and taking action, those things can go on for quite a quite a while.

"There's plenty of stories to tell that are based in Agnes, Daisy and Aunt Lydia's world and what challenges they are facing."

Executive producer Warren Littlefield adds, "If you're a student of
Margaret's novels, and if you were a fan of The Handmaid's Tale , and then
you come into Testaments , Agnes catches up by the end of the season to what you may know as a reader and a follower of our show.

"Agnes becomes aware of her roots and origin. I think that leads us to a wonderful opening of what comes next for her."
