The Testaments date revealed — new Gilead series comes to Disney+ in April
When we brought you first look images from The Testaments towards the end of last year, we hoped for more news sooner than later. Now we know the show will premiere April 8th on Disney+ in the UK with three episodes, followed by new episodes weekly.
What is the show about
The Testaments date press release tells us:
An evolution of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments is based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name and is a dramatic coming-of-age story set in Gilead. The series follows young teens Agnes, dutiful and pious, and Daisy, a new arrival and convert from beyond Gilead’s borders. As they navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia’s elite preparatory school for future wives, a place where obedience is instilled brutally and always with divine justification, their bond becomes the catalyst that will upend their past, their present, and their future.
Starring Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien.
It’s little different than the previous release. With a few months to go, we expect trailers and perhaps more detail. As ever we’ll see you updated.
