Hulu Renews The Testaments for Season 2

Hulu pointed to rapid week-to-week audience growth after the show logged more than 45 million hours streamed as the reason for the pickup

Overview

  • Hulu announced the Season 2 renewal on Wednesday, May 20, confirming the pickup one week before the Season 1 finale on May 27.
  • The streamer said the series has grown its audience each week and has amassed over 45 million hours streamed globally across Hulu and Disney+.
  • The Testaments stars Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday and Ann Dowd, with Elisabeth Moss returning as a guest star and serving as an executive producer.
  • Showrunner Bruce Miller has previously said he envisions a multi‑season arc of roughly three to five seasons (about 30–50 episodes), but Hulu has not disclosed a production start date or premiere window for Season 2.
  • The renewal reflects streamer priorities that favor fast audience growth and engagement, and it raises a creative choice for the series about how to extend the story beyond the novel’s material.
