The Testaments' season 2 future finally confirmed
The thrilling new sequel to The Handmaid's Tale premiered last month and is already being called better than the original dystopian drama
www.mirror.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share about The Testaments (season 2) based on recent reporting.
-
Renewal status: The Testaments has been renewed for a second season. Multiple outlets reported Hulu’s official renewal around mid‑to‑late May 2026, shortly after the season 1 premiere and while the finale was approaching. This confirms a second season is in development and moving forward on Hulu (and Disney+ platforms).[2][3][5]
-
Release timeline: Because the renewal happened in May 2026 and production considerations are ongoing, a premiere date for The Testaments season 2 has not been officially set yet. Some outlets speculate a release window around 2027, but no definitive date has been announced by Hulu as of now.[3][5][7]
-
Cast and production notes: While detailed casting for season 2 hadn’t been finalized in all reports, the renewal articles indicate continued involvement of key creative figures and the core cast is expected to return, with production ramping up following the renewal announcements.[5][7][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest official statements from Hulu/Disney and compile a concise timeline (renewal announcement, production milestones, and expected release window) with live citations. I can also summarize what the first season covered and what themes or plot threads season 2 is likely to explore, based on what outlets are saying, to set expectations.
