Editor’s Note: This article contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of The Testaments.
Fans may not have to wait too long for the return of everyone’s favorite dystopian series. The Testaments ended its first season run less than 24 hours ago with a standout finale titled “Secateurs.” In it, Agnes (Chase Infiniti) finally learns that June (Elisabeth Moss) is her birth mother after Daisy (Lucy Halliday) eventually reveals to her that she is actually Hannah. Meanwhile, June enters Gilead to rescue Daisy, but changes her mind after discovering that Daisy indeed knows her daughter. The season ends on a cliffhanger, suggesting even more chaos when the show returns for Season 2.
Thanks to impressive ratings, The Testaments was renewed for Season 2 before its first season wrapped, and we now know how development is going thanks to series executive producer Warren Littlefield. As an adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel of the same name and a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, the sci-fi drama follows the story of Agnes, who is being raised in upper-crust Gilead society, tutored in a private girls’ school led by Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) for a potential prosperous husband. But then there’s Daisy, from the independent city of Toronto, whom Aunt Lydia orders Agnes to mentor, not knowing she’s a spy.
During a recent interview, Littlefield revealed that The Testaments Season 2 has already been written, with production expected to begin in late summer or early fall. The EP also shared that two additional seasons are being planned for the series, aligning with creator Bruce Miller’s recent comments that the show could run for three or four seasons in total. Nevertheless, despite the series reportedly earning around 45 million hours watched, its continuation still depends on whether Disney, Hulu, MGM, and Amazon are willing to move forward with more seasons.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your Sci-Fi Hero Is…
Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.
Arrakis · Dune
Paul Atreides
You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.
You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.
USS Enterprise · Star Trek
Captain Kirk
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.
The Rebellion · Star Wars
Princess Leia
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.
You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.
The Nostromo · Alien
Ellen Ripley
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.
The Wasteland · Mad Max
Max Rockatansky
You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.
You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.
