    Bruce Miller, Showrunner of The Testaments (2026)
    Jun 6 2026
    What a thrill to once again talk to Bruce Miller, showrunner of The Testaments! His enthusiasm for the material is clear and infectious, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Among other things, Bruce talked about: Why Gilead is terrified of teenage girls Rowan Blanchard’s performance as Shunammite, and why he thinks viewers eventually came around on the character Lydia’s motivations, including whether she really believed she was protecting the women of Gilead The brutal stadium flashback, and the challenge of adapting such disturbing material without making viewers turn away What Agnes remembers about her mother, and how Gilead may have manipulated the memories of stolen children The cameos from Handmaid’s Tale characters, and whether he thinks more of The Handmaid’s Tale cast would want to return The visual storytelling of the series, from production design and costumes to color and cinematography Why we saw so little red this season What it was like working with the remarkable young cast Some intriguing hints about season two, including character backstories and a possible Gilead road trip And a lot more!

    The Testaments S1E10 "Secateurs"
    May 30 2026
    A moving, satisfying, bittersweet season finale where these girls who’ve spent the season waking up to how oppressed they and the women of Gilead have been decided to take a stand. We loved it, and we have a lot to talk about. A huge thank you to everyone who listened and who wrote or called in. It’s been a fantastic season of podcasting, and we really loved sharing the experience of this great new show with you guys! We’ve got one more episode left to go. We had intended on including all your feedback in this episode, but as we should’ve known, there’s more than enough for a standalone episode, so that should be out sometime next week. Talk to you then.
