In this special episode of Behind The Geeks, we sit down with Rowan Blanchard (Shunammite) and Mattea Conforti (Becka) from The Testaments. Based on the novel by Margaret Atwood, The Testaments continues the story of Gilead as a powerful coming-of-age drama set in the world established by The Handmaid’s Tale. We discuss how Rowan and Mattea collaborated with writers, directors, and showrunners to bring their characters to life, and explore the complex dynamic between two young women navigating the same oppressive world in very different ways. While their friendship is strong, their beliefs—and what they want from Gilead—couldn’t be more different.

The Testaments premieres with three episodes on Wednesday, April 8 on Hulu on Disney+ in Canada, with new episodes dropping weekly.
