The Testaments continues the struggle against Gilead after The Handmaid’s Tale, reframing the world with a YA-leaning feminist revolution. The series centers on the Aunt Lydia School, an elite academy that prepares daughters of Gilead for their assigned futures, including marriage to decorated generals.
