‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Sequel ‘The Testaments’ Casts Lucy Halliday as Daisy

variety.com:

Ethan Shanfeld Hulu’s upcoming series “The Testaments,” a sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has cast Lucy Halliday in the role of Daisy. “The Testaments” is based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name.

It follows three protagonists — Aunt Lydia (played by “Handmaid’s Tale” star Ann Dowd), Agnes (Chase Infiniti) and Daisy, a young Canadian teen whose life is turned upside down when she discovers her connection to the Republic of Gilead. “The Testaments” takes place 15 years after the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which airs its sixth and finale season on Hulu in April.

The novel alternates between the perspectives of the three women. Atwood published the book in 2019, 34 years after the release of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Testaments” is created by Bruce Miller, who also serves as showrunner.

He executive produces alongside Warren Littlefiend of The Littlefield Company. MGM Television is the studio. In the upcoming final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” June is pulled back into the fight to take down Gilead, and Luke and Moira join the resistance.
