Blanchard is set to play the role of Shunammite, a privileged teenager growing up in the oppressive world of Gilead. As part of an elite family, she enjoys a certain level of power and respect—something rare in a society that systematically strips women of autonomy. But as we’ve seen in The Handmaid’s Tale , nothing in Gilead is as it seems, and privilege can be just as much of a trap as servitude.
For those unfamiliar, The Testaments is based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name and takes place more than 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale . This next chapter focuses on a new generation of young women who have only known life within Gilead’s strict regime. Unlike June Osborne and her peers, these girls have no memories of a time before oppression, which makes their fight for freedom all the more complex. They are forced to navigate a world where marriage is not a choice, servitude is expected, and rebellion is a dangerous game.
The Handmaid’s Tale , at the helm, you can bet this sequel will maintain the same intensity and thought-provoking storytelling that made the original series such a phenomenon.
Production is well underway, and fans are eagerly awaiting more details on how this new installment will expand the story. If The Testaments stays true to Atwood’s vision, it’s bound to deliver a powerful, unsettling, and deeply relevant commentary on power, resistance, and survival. Whether you’re a longtime Handmaid’s Tale fan or new to the franchise, this is definitely a series to keep on your radar.
So, what do you think about Rowan Blanchard joining the cast? Are you excited to see The Testaments come to life? Let’s talk about it!
