Who’s got questions about The Testaments? We do! We take them to the top as The Testaments Showrunner Bruce Miller joins Fiona to discuss the major characters and plot twists of The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff so far. (Contains spoilers about the first three episodes of The Testaments, obviously). Bruce, a friend of the show, and frequent guest on our previous podcast, #eyesongilead, answers these questions and more: Is Daisy who we think she is? (and if so, how?); What major departures can we expect from the Margaret Atwood novel? And speaking of books, did June Osborne ever 'write' hers? This is a must-listen for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments alike. Eyes on Screen is hosted by Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (of Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion podcast fame). Watch along with us every week, then join the conversation by following Eyes on Screen on Instagram: @eyesonscreenpod Edited and mixed by Jeremy Wilmot.

Recapping Episode 3 ('Daisy') of The Testaments, the Handmaid’s Tale spinoff, and this time, we’re spending more time beyond Gilead. We’re Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (from Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion). In Episode 3, an incident on a school trip triggers Daisy’s memories of Toronto, revealing more about her past, and a world shaped by violence. We unpack what this means for Daisy: how she could connect to the character from The Testaments novel, and whether she’s who we think she is. Plus, we dive into the meaning behind key artwork and symbols, and the bigger questions this episode raises. It also has Sana thinking of home. Very mild spoiler warning: we do reference events from The Testaments novel. We don’t think it will ruin anything for you but consider yourself warned. We have questions, we have theories, and we figure you probably do too.

We're recapping Episode 2 of The Testaments ('Perfect Teeth'), and things are getting darker inside Gilead. It didn't take long. We’re Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (from Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion). Join us as we break down Episode 2 and everything it sets in motion: Agnes (Chase Infiniti) begins the rituals that mark her coming of age, she grapples with the confusing stirrings of adolescence. Meanwhile, Daisy (Lucy Halliday) faces the harsh realities of Gilead’s system of discipline. We have questions, we have opinions, and we will unpack the characters and themes and what this episode reveals about power, control, and identity in The Testaments.

It’s time to recap the premiere episode of The Testaments, the long-awaited spinoff of The Handmaid’s Tale, and we’re diving straight back into Gilead.

We unpack the characters, themes, and what it all means for the future of The Testaments.

The Testaments is almost here — so, obviously, we’re going back to Gilead.

We’re your Eyes on Screen hosts, Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Natalie Hambly and Haidee Ireland. You might know us from our award-winning podcast Eyes on Screen: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion. That wrapped when The Handmaid’s Tale ended last year… but like June Osborne, we just can’t quit Gilead.

So we're going back in (did we ever leave?). 

In this new spinoff podcast, we’ll start by recapping The Testaments episode by episode, breaking down the story, characters, and all the moments that matter.

Today, we’re starting with a preview and predictions:

• What stories from The Handmaid’s Tale are still unresolved?
• Who returns in The Testaments — and who doesn’t?
• Will we see June again?
• What will Chase Infiniti bring to Agnes?
• And what kind of Aunt Lydia are we about to meet?

We’ve got questions. And if you know us, we’ve got opinions.

Follow along as we recap every episode of The Testaments. And talk about other TV series and movies that have captured our attention (such as, what has Sana rewatched five times? And why is it Heated Rivalry?). 

Come and sit with us. We can't wait to watch along with you.

Tell us what you're most looking forward to via our new show Instagram account @eyesonscreenpod
