Chase Infiniti and Elisabeth Moss on The Testaments Season Finale and Season 2
Hulu's 'The Testaments,' adapted from Margaret Atwood's 2019 novel, concluded its first season with a finale where a girl murders her father. The series, set at a Gilead preparatory academy run by Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd), centers on young protagonists Agnes (Chase Infiniti), Daisy (Lucy Halliday), and others. Creator Bruce Miller and executive producer Elisabeth Moss aimed to differentiate the show from 'The Handmaid's Tale' by reducing on-screen violence and focusing on sisterhood. Moss, who played June in the original series, produced and made limited cameos. The season ends with Agnes discovering June is her mother. The show was renewed for a second season before the finale. Infiniti, who also stars in 'Presumed Innocent' and 'One Battle After Another,' credits Moss for guidance. Moss hints at a growing rebellion in Season 2 and teases June's potential return.
