For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, with no tangible memories of the outside world before they were brought into this life. Faced with the prospect of marriage and a life of slavery, they will be forced to seek allies, both new and old, to help them their fight for freedom and the life they deserve.

The cast includes Ann Dowd, Chase Infinite, Lucy Hallday, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Isolde Hardy, Shechina Mpumlwana and Birwa Pandya.

Bruce Miller created and serves as showrunner on The Testaments. He also executive produces with Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Steve Stark, Shana Stein, Maya Goldsmith, Jon Weber, Sheila Hawkin, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears and Mike Barker, who will direct the first three episodes. MGM Television is a studio.
