Sequel to Amazon's acclaimed sci-fi production commences filming unexpectedly
The highly-anticipated sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, based on Margaret Atwood's novel The Testaments, is set to make its debut as a television series on Hulu. Titled The Testaments, the series is produced by MGM Television and serves as a continuation of the story, taking place 15 years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale.
Production on The Testaments has already started, with scenes being shot in Dundas, Canada. Bruce Miller, who also created The Handmaid's Tale, is the showrunner for the sequel.
The series follows several characters from the original, including Aunt Lydia, played by Ann Dowd in both The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments. New characters include Agnes Jemima, who is known as June's daughter Hannah in the first series, and a new character named Daisy.
The story of Hannah after the fall of Gilead may be answered in The Testaments. However, it seems that Elisabeth Moss' character, June Osborne, will not be featured in the sequel.
In the UK, The Testaments is likely to be available on Disney+ instead of Amazon Prime Video or Channel 4, which streamed and broadcasted the original series respectively. This is due to the imminent integration of Hulu, which means that the rights to The Testaments are also likely to be integrated with Disney+ for its release.
The rights to The Testaments in regions where Disney+ operates are also expected to be with Disney+. This means that The Testaments, like The Handmaid's Tale, is probable to be available to watch on Hulu in the US.
The Testaments is a direct sequel to the dystopian sci-fi series The Handmaid's Tale, and is based on Atwood's second novel of the same name. The Hamilton Spectator, a local news source, reported about the filming of The Testaments in Dundas.
Fans of The Handmaid's Tale are eagerly awaiting the release of The Testaments, which promises to delve deeper into the world and characters of the original series. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new series.
Movies-and-TV enthusiasts are eager to explore the world and characters of The Testaments, a direct sequel to the dystopian sci-fi series The Handmaid's Tale. This upcoming television series, based on Margaret Atwood's second novel of the same name, is set to air on Hulu and ideas about its expansion to Disney+ in the UK raise anticipation.
