Lucy Halliday (Blue Jean) has been tapped as a lead opposite Chase Infiniti and Ann Dowd in The Handmaid’s Tale sequel The Testaments for Hulu.
Like The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments is based on a novel by Margaret Atwood. And just like the mothership series, the sequel is created by Bruce Miller who serves as showrunner.
The Testaments takes place in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead more than 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale. The story follows the lives of three women, The Handmaid’s Tale‘s Aunt Lydia (Dowd), Agnes (Infiniti) and Daisy (Halliday), whose fates become intertwined as they uncover the secrets of Gilead and the resistance against its regime.
Halliday’s Daisy is a young Canadian teen, whose life is turned upside down when she learns of her connection to the Republic of Gilead.

As Deadline reported, the hope is for The Handmaid’s Tale lead Elisabeth Moss to guest star on the sequel, reprising her June character who is linked to both Agnes and Daisy.
Miller executive produces alongside fellow Handmaid’s Tale executive producer Warren Littlefiend of The Littlefield Company, with MGM Television as the studio.
Young Scottish actress Halliday has just wrapped the feature California Schemin’, directed by James McAvoy. She is repped by Curtis Brown Group and Myman Greenspan Fox.
