Hulu renews its limited-series follow-up to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Testaments,” for a second season, multiple outlets report. The announcement comes after Season 1 is already airing and is described as progressing during its original run, with some coverage citing strong streaming performance and week-to-week audience growth. The series, created by Bruce Miller and produced for television by MGM Television and 20th Television, follows the story world of Gilead. “The Testaments” premiered in April and features a cast including Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, and others. The renewal is reported to arrive shortly before the Season 1 finale, which is scheduled to drop May 27, setting up additional chapters beyond the current run. Overall, the sources agree that Hulu has ordered another season of the sequel series, extending its return to the “Handmaid’s Tale” universe beyond the ongoing first season.
