Hulu's sequel series to "The Handmaid's Tale," titled "The Testaments," has elevated Charlie Carrick and Haley Wong to series regular status for its upcoming second season.

"The Testaments," based on Margaret Atwood's novel, focuses on the coming-of-age experiences of Agnes and Daisy, two young girls in Gilead. Their journeys, particularly within Aunt Lydia's elite preparatory school, are set to drive the narrative forward.
Ann Dowd returns as Aunt Lydia, a pivotal character in the series. Bruce Miller serves as showrunner and executive producer, alongside a team including Elisabeth Moss and Warren Littlefield. Production for the second season commenced last month.
