Following up a beloved series like The Handmaid's Tale was never going to be an easy feat but The Testaments has not only proven that it's in a new dystopian lane of its own, but that it also isn't afraid to turn the original Margaret Atwood novel on its head a little bit.
Agnes, on the other hand, has been enjoying life in picture-perfect Gilead but as she grows older, the focus switches on marriage and which older Commander she will be wed to. The season 1 finale left on a sombre but empowering note as it's all too clear that Daisy is hellbent on recruiting her fellow Plums – but she could be playing with fire.
With The Testaments season 2 already having been confirmed, fans will start to wonder just when it will be landing on screens. Read on for everything we know so far.
The Testaments season 2 release date speculation
As for when that second season will be released, we don't yet know. Some fans have speculated that the series could be going into production very soon, seeing as the initial plan for the series was for the show to continue on into "three to five seasons" anyway, according to the show's creator.
That could mean that if The Testaments was to follow suit of its predecessor, we could be looking at a potential 2027 release date for season 2. Watch this space!
The Testaments season 2 cast speculation: Who could be returning?
We'd expect the majority of the season 1 cast to be returning seeing as their stories are far from being wrapped up. Although Becka's (Mattea Conforti) story reached a tragic conclusion, fans of the original book will know that her story has been changed for the series so there's plenty of scope left for her arc going into season 2.
As for those that won't be making another appearance in the series (but could in flashbacks), that would be the Grove parents. Dr Grove (Randal Edwards) was killed in the penultimate episode by Becka but wanting her daughter to avoid punishment for her crime, her mother (Kate Hewlett) took the fall for it and was sentenced to death.

As for guest appearances, we'd also expect Elisabeth Moss to reprise her role as June Osbourne for further episodes of The Testaments. O-T Fagbenle, who played Hannah's (aka Agnes) father Luke in The Handmaid's Tale, has also teased that "there have been some conversations" about him making a cameo appearance in The Testaments too.
What could The Testaments season 2 be about?
Depending on if there is a time jump between seasons, that likely means that the ball and engagement process will unfold once more, but now with Agnes having Daisy and Shu by her side. Daisy has now gotten her period so that means she's inching dangerously further into Gilead life even though she's an undercover Mayday operative. On the other hand, Shu hasn't had her period yet and so is technically still a Plum but that could all change in season 2.
Seeing as the rest of the Greens have now gone ahead with their engagements, we'd expect the girls to attend all manner of weddings and parties to celebrate, with the likes of Hulda, Miriam and Jehosheba just some of their group to be wed.
As for Judd, many fans understandably think there's more than meets the eye to his cool exterior. As one of the founders of Gilead and the top ranking officers, he's shaped himself to be the perfect husband. But with his wife Penny suffering another miscarriage, some fans have speculated that he could actually end up killing her and choosing another wife, which could be Agnes. In the case of the book, he purposely poisons his wives to get younger ones so that could certainly unfold in a similar way in the show.
