First look: Disney+ reveals images from ‘The Testaments’

Disney+ has revealed the first look images from its highly anticipated upcoming drama series ‘The Testaments,’ offering a striking introduction to the world of Gilead’s next generation. The series—set to premiere April 2026 on Disney+ internationally—boasts a powerful ensemble cast including Ann Dowd, Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, and Birva Pandya.

Adapted from Margaret Atwood’s Booker Prize–winning 2019 novel, ‘The Testaments’ takes viewers back into the chilling dystopian theocracy of Gilead. Set years after the events of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ the drama explores a new era of oppression, resilience, and rebellion through the eyes of young women who have known no life outside Gilead’s rigid, indoctrinated rule.

The first look images spotlight this next generation—girls raised entirely within the regime—now confronting the grim futures that have been planned for them. With their childhoods shaped by strict doctrine and limited freedom, they face the imminent threat of forced marriages and lives of servitude. But as their world begins to widen, they seek allies both familiar and unexpected, setting the stage for a fight for autonomy and the futures they deserve.

‘The Testaments’ also features a cast that includes Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, and Kira Guloien.

The series was created for television by showrunner and executive producer Bruce Miller and is executive produced by Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears, and Mike Barker, who also directs the first three episodes.
