has concluded with the recent airing of the season six finale.

Yet, the tale of Gilead continues with sequel series The Testaments currently in production.

This upcoming show is based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 Booker Prize-winning novel The Testaments, which provides a resolution to the fall of the authoritarian regime.

Viewers are eager to discover if any characters from The Handmaid's Tale will feature in the spin-off.

There is particular interest in whether , who played the lead role of June Osborne in The Handmaid's Tale, will appear in The Testaments. Here's what we know so far, reports the .

Elisabeth Moss does hold a behind-the-scenes role in The Testaments as an executive producer.

Hulu confirmed her involvement as a producer on the show in April, following the announcement that production had commenced on the forthcoming series.

At present, it remains uncertain whether Moss will reprise her on-screen role as June, with no official announcements made.

While Atwood's novel The Testaments references June, she doesn't play a significant role in the narrative.

Given Moss's executive position on The Testaments, there's potential for her to make an appearance, but it's likely this would only occur if it served the storyline.

The Testaments will primarily focus on Gilead-born Agnes, portrayed by Chase Infiniti, and Daisy, played by Lucy Halliday, an orphan residing in Canada with her foster parents.

Despite Elisabeth Moss not returning, Ann Dowd will reprise her role as Aunt Lydia from The Handmaid's Tale.

Those familiar with the novel will recognise Aunt Lydia's pivotal role in The Testaments.

Most characters from The Handmaid's Tale are unlikely to return for The Testaments, as the upcoming drama focuses on a new chapter in Gilead.

Bruce Miller, the showrunner of The Testaments, stated that the series is largely about teenage girls growing up in Gilead and navigating its strict regime.

He described the show as having a different tone to the original series, featuring more "snarkiness", "fun" and the "energy of being young" rather than June's solitary, bleak dystopian journey.

The Testaments is essentially a coming-of-age story, as Daisy, Agnes and other women in this universe strive to survive and thrive against all odds.

Miller previously told Entertainment Weekly: "[The Testaments] is about someone on the top in Gilead. This is about Hannah or Agnes, who's the daughter of a high commander who is the top of the food chain for women in Gilead, and it's still awful.

"That's what we find out, is that being on the top of a food chain in a misogynistic society doesn't make it any better."
