Given the awards success of The Handmaid’s Tale, hopes are high for Hulu‘s sequel series The Testaments.
While star Chase Infiniti heads the cast as the sole lead acting nominee, the full ensemble will be represented in the supporting categories, with 10 actresses being submitted in that race. Elisabeth Moss will be entered as a guest actress; she’s also eligible as a producer.
The Handmaid’s Tale earned 15 Emmy Awards and 77 nominations over its six-season run, including a win for Ann Dowd as supporting actress as Aunt Lydia, a role she reprises in The Testaments.
