Chase Infiniti plays June’s daughter in The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff — but she didn’t meet Elisabeth Moss until she was nearly done filming The Testaments.
“I actually didn’t get to meet Elisabeth Moss really until the end [of filming],” Infiniti, 25, told People earlier this month.
Infiniti, who plays Hannah a.k.a Agnes on the upcoming Hulu show, recalled Moss’ advice to her, adding, “But she kind of immediately after I met her, wrapped me into a big hug and was kind of like, ‘You got this. You got this. OK? You got it.’”
Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, The Handmaid’s Tale, which aired from 2017 to 2025, took place in a dystopian future where low fertility rates led women to be assigned to men for bearing children. Alongside Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, Madeline Brewer, Ann Dowd, O-T Fagbenle, Max Minghella and Amanda Brugel led the cast of the show over the years.
The Testaments, which premieres April 8 and is set 15 years later, is narrated by Ann Dowd’s Aunt Lydia as viewers are thrust back into the dystopian future with characters such as Agnes from Gilead and Daisy from Canada — as they secretly gather and smuggle incriminating information about Gilead’s regime out of the country. Agnes and Daisy pose as “Pearl Girls” to infiltrate Canada, while Aunt Lydia acts as a covert source within Gilead.
In addition to Infiniti and Dowd, The Testaments stars Lucy Halliday, Eva Foote, Rowan Blanchard, Kira Guloien, Amy Seimetz and Brad Alexander. Birva Pandya, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Mattea Conforti, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Mabel Li and Isolde Ardies make up the rest of the cast.
“We are making The Testaments, and it’s not going to track precisely,” creator Bruce Miller told TVLine in 2022. “Margaret writes these absolutely deliciously specific characters. We had to go away from that in Handmaid’s, and we’re going to have to go away from that in Testaments. Testaments is certainly going to be a sequel to the show.”
More recently, The Handmaid’s Tale showrunner Yahlin Chang teased how the show set up spinoff The Testaments, telling TV Insider in March 2025, “For sure, there will be cliffhangers for The Testaments, so it doesn’t conclude everything.”
The sixth season of The Handmaid’s Tale wrapped up certain plot points “in some very satisfying ways.”
“Any fans that are left wanting more are going to get more in The Testaments, which will be great for them,” Chang continued. “But it does conclude in some very satisfying ways many of the story lines, but not every single one.”
The Testaments premieres April 8 on Hulu.
