The Testaments’ Debuts With Three Episodes as Hulu Sets Weekly Rollout Through May 27

The spinoff compresses the book’s long time jump to four years after the original series, bringing June back to link new protagonists to the franchise’s core story.

Overview

  • Following Wednesday’s three-episode premiere, Hulu will release seven more episodes weekly on Wednesdays through May 27.
  • Elisabeth Moss returns as June Osborne in Episodes 1 and 3 and also serves as an executive producer on the series.
  • The adaptation advances the story about four years rather than the novel’s 15, which lets legacy characters appear while centering a new cast.
  • Showrunner Bruce Miller says the TV version redefines Daisy’s origins from the book, clarifying she is not necessarily June’s daughter.
  • The series shifts the viewpoint to teens at Aunt Lydia’s elite school, led by Agnes (played by Chase Infiniti, about 14), with new episodes streaming at 3 a.m. ET on Hulu.
