Question 1 of 150 / 15

Who wrote the original novel 'The Testaments'?

The Testaments is the highly anticipated sequel series to The Handmaid's Tale, adapted from Margaret Atwood's award-winning 2019 novel. Set roughly 15 years after the events of the original story, the show returns viewers to the dystopian Republic of Gilead and centers on three pivotal women: Aunt Lydia, once again played by Ann Dowd, and young protagonists Agnes and Daisy. While Aunt Lydia continues operating from Ardua Hall, the headquarters of the feared Aunts, Agnes grows up inside Gilead's rigid hierarchy, and Daisy is raised in neighboring Canada — separated by borders, belief systems, and a secret that could shake an entire regime.

This quiz invites you deep into the world of The Testaments. Across 30 questions, you'll cover the full spectrum: easy starters about Hulu, genre, and creator Margaret Atwood; medium-tough questions about narrative structure, the YA-skewed audience, and recurring locations like Ardua Hall and Mayday; and hard-mode trivia including casting picks, filming locations, the Canadian broadcaster CTV Sci-Fi Channel, and Aunt Lydia's pre-Gilead career as a family court judge. Bruce Miller returns as showrunner, ensuring tonal continuity with The Handmaid's Tale, while production by MGM Television in Toronto keeps the visual identity of Gilead intact.

Readers of the novel will spot Easter eggs immediately — Baby Nicole, Commander Judd, the three first-person narrators, the Booker Prize win shared with Bernardine Evaristo. But fans of the series alone will still find plenty of ground to cover, from cast announcements to episode count and premiere window. The questions are designed to feel rewarding, not punishing: every answer comes with a short explanation, so even the trickiest items become a chance to learn something new about Atwood's expanded universe.

The difficulty curve is built so casual viewers can enjoy the early rounds before being challenged by the deeper cuts. Are you confident you know which actress plays the young Daisy? Do you remember which underground network smuggles refugees out of Gilead? Can you name the year filming officially began? Test yourself, share your score, and challenge friends to beat it. Whether you're a longtime devotee of Atwood's writing, a binge-watcher who fell in love with the red cloaks and white wings, or a newcomer drawn to dystopian storytelling, The Testaments quiz is your invitation to prove your fandom. Welcome back to Gilead — watch what you say.
