The Handmaid’s Tale Loses Major Character Ahead of Series Finale
- The Handmaid's Tale is concluding its six-season run in 2025 while preparing the spinoff series The Testaments, whose production began in April 2025 in Toronto.
- Bruce Miller stepped down as showrunner of The Handmaid's Tale to focus on The Testaments, a series based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 sequel novel set four to five years after the original story.
- The Testaments follows protagonists Lydia, Agnes , and Daisy, who navigate growing up in Gilead’s oppressive society while questioning their roles and seeking freedom.
- Ann Dowd reprises her role as Aunt Lydia, now more protective and morally conflicted, with Bruce Miller stating Lydia aims to regain control lost in The Handmaid's Tale, as the show will depict “a completely opposite side of Gilead.”
- Elisabeth Moss’s character June is unlikely to appear in The Testaments, leaving the spinoff to explore new perspectives while The Handmaid's Tale final season promises an honest, satisfying conclusion focused on resilience and revolution.
