How Did Handmaid’s Tale Series Finale Set Up Testaments Spinoff?

The popular Hulu series, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has come to an end, but the spinoff series, “The Testaments,” is just beginning. In the series finale, main character June, played by Elisabeth Moss, reunites with Aunt Lydia, portrayed by Ann Dowd, after being reunited with Janine, played by Madeline Brewer. The finale sets the stage for a new chapter in the dystopian world of Gilead.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” is based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, depicting a future where women are assigned to men for the purpose of bearing children. The series finale shows a revolution that brings freedom to multiple states, but the struggle continues. “The Testaments,” set 15 years later, follows characters such as Agnes from Gilead and Daisy from Canada as they join a new resistance movement against the oppressive regime of Gilead. Aunt Lydia plays a crucial role as a covert source within Gilead.

The showrunners of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Yahlin Chang and Eric Tuchman, discussed Aunt Lydia’s character development leading up to the spinoff series. Chang explained how Aunt Lydia’s decision in the finale was a natural progression from her journey throughout the show, as she comes to terms with the toxic behavior of Gilead’s commanders. Tuchman emphasized that Aunt Lydia’s story is just beginning, as she aligns herself with the Handmaids and betrays her duties to Gilead, setting her on a path that she cannot stray from.

The Handmaid’s Tale” is now available for streaming on Hulu, while fans eagerly anticipate the premiere of “The Testaments” to delve deeper into the world of Gilead and the characters’ continued fight for freedom.
