The Testaments Review (2026–present): Is It Worth Watching?

Is The Testaments worth watching?

Yes — The Testaments is worth watching, holding a 88/100 Celluloid Editorial Rating and 81% Audience Snapshot on Celluloid. Its 81% Celluloid Score combines Celluloid editorial, Metascore (71), IMDb (8.3/10), and aggregated fan rating (83%), with audience sentiment shown separately.

Created by Bruce Miller, The Testaments ran 1 season, 10 episodes on Hulu in English, from United States. The Testaments is still in production, so the story is not finished — new seasons may shift where it lands.

What is The Testaments about?

Gilead endures, four years after the War of Massachusetts, and a new generation has never known anything else. Sixteen-year-old Agnes, cherished daughter of a powerful commander, is groomed at Aunt Lydia’s school to become a wife; Daisy, a caustic teenager raised beyond the border, crashes into that world carrying secrets that could shake the regime. Margaret Atwood’s sequel becomes a coming-of-age story set inside the machinery of a theocracy — with Aunt Lydia playing her longest game yet.

Celluloid verdict: Less punishing and more propulsive than its predecessor, The Testaments finds a fresh angle on Gilead through younger eyes — anchored by Ann Dowd’s return and a breakout Chase Infiniti, it earns a place beside The Handmaid’s Tale rather than in its shadow. The cast is led by Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Ann Dowd, Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, among others.
