The story takes place in Gilead, but has moved on from the events of The Handmaid's Tale, as explained by showrunner Bruce Miller.
"[Testaments] is about someone on the top in Gilead... the daughter of a high commander who is the top of the food chain for women in Gilead, and it's still awful. That's what we find out, is that being on the top of a food chain in a misogynistic society doesn't make it any better. It just puts more of a target on your head."

But that's just an educated guess. There were two and a half years between seasons 5 and 6 of The Handmaid's Tale, so don't be surprised if it falls in 2027.

The Testaments plot: What's it about?
"For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, having no tangible memories of the outside world prior to their indoctrination into this life," reads the official synopsis.
Expanding on the plot, Miller said (via Deadline): "It’s about growing up Gilead. It feels like exactly the opposite world. These are…the most precious girls in Gilead.
Miller also said that through Agnes, we learn more about June.
"Her daughter and her daughters' friends are the ones that, with her help, end up bringing down Gilead, as the Testaments [tells us]."
“I think that her level of control is kind of getting sapped by herself," said Miller (via Deadline). "She’s undercutting herself and saying, ‘I want to control these women, but I can’t, because I feel like that’s wrong,’ and she’s a very right and wrong person.
"What becomes someone like Lydia, who has not just desire to be in control, but confidence and actual competence in being in control? What happens to someone like that? Well, they don’t just sit by the wayside. They actually, if you tell them no and beat them up, they take your country.”
Is there a trailer for The Testaments trailer?
