Conforti will play ‘Becka,’ a girl of humble origins who attends school with Gilead’s elite. As she comes of age, she starts to question whether she wants the life she’s being groomed for.
The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments are based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. Like the mothership series, Bruce Miller serves as creator, showrunner and executive producer.

For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known. They had no tangible memories of the outside world before their indoctrination into this life. Facing the prospect of being married off and living a life of servitude, they will be forced to search for allies, both new and old, to help in their fight for freedom and the life they deserve.
Miller executive produces with The Handmaid’s Tale‘s team Warren Littlefield, Steve Stark, and Mike Barker, who will also direct the first three episodes. MGM Television is the studio.
Conforti most recently played ‘Young Janice Soprano’ in the Warner Bros. feature The Many Saints of Newark, a prequel to HBO’s mob drama The Sopranos, and ‘Young Elsa’ in Disney’s Frozen II. Previously, Conforti starred as a series regular on the AMC series NOS4A2 opposite Zachary Quinto and Ashleigh Cummings.
She previously recurred as ‘Elisa Marie’ on the hit Starz series Power, led by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora. Additional TV credits include Gotham from FOX and Netflix’s The Good Cop. She is also the voice of Moon on the animated series Ollie and Moon.
