The first trailer for The Handmaid's Tale spin-off series The Testaments has given fans a first look at the tense teenage spy plot now just weeks away from hitting screens.
The series, which was first announced to be in the works back in 2019 while the original series, based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel, was still on screens.
The Handmaid's Tale came to a tense finale last May, with Elisabeth Moss' June returning to Gilead to document what happened to her in the Waterford home.
Now, the story will pick up in spin-off series The Testaments, the sequel book to Atwood's original, approximately 15 years later after June's plight.
The Disney+ coming-of-age series, which is set to premiere on April 8 with three of the episodes, and further episodes to launch weekly, follows young teens Agnes and Daisy.
Dutiful and pious Agnes and new arrival Daisy, a convert from beyond Gilead's borders, navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia's elite school for future wives together.

Their bond soon 'becomes the catalyst that will upend their past, their present, and their future', working together to expose the secrets of the regime.
It will see the return of Aunt Lydia actress Ann Dowd to the franchise, this time joined by One Battle After Another's Chase Infiniti and newcomer Lucy Halliday.
They will also be joined by Mabel Li, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Rowan Blanchard, Mattea Conforti, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Eva Foote, Isolde Ardies, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Birva Pandya and Kira Guloien.
A first look at the series sees us introduced to Chase as Agnes for the first time - and coming face to face with Daisy, and navigating life at the school for wives. '
'I'm not really sure what year it was, I know I still had my doll house, it looked just like our real house,' Agnes' voice can be heard ringing out.
'Some dolls were always busy, others were always doing the important work, and there was a little girl doll, that's me.'
'Back then, we still believed in this world,' Agnes says, on top of scenes of her playing with her school friends. 'I guess it's easier to believe in a story, then believe that the people around you are monsters.'

'I have to save those girls,' Daisy is then seen saying, as she plugs in headphones to her ears as part of her plot to uncover the Gilead regime.
'There comes a time when you have to take action, when you have to choose your own destiny,' Daisy is then heard telling Agnes.
