‘The Testaments’ Lucy Halliday continues in ‘Handmaid’s Tale’
Hulu’s upcoming series ‘The Testaments’, a sequel to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, has cast Lucy Halliday in the role of Daisy.
“The Testaments” is based on the novel by Margaret Atwood of the same name. It follows three protagonists – Aunt Lydia (played by “Handmaid’s Tale” star Ann Dowd), Agnes (Chase Infiniti) and Daisy, a young Canadian teenage whose life is upside down when she discovers her connection with the Republic Gilead.
“The Testaments” takes place 15 years after the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale”, which broadcast his sixth and final season in Hulu in April. The novel alternates between the perspectives of the three women. Atwood published the book in 2019, 34 years after the release of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’.
Just like ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, ‘The Testaments’ is made by Bruce Miller, who also serves as a Showrunner. In addition to Steve Stark and Warren Littlefiend, he produces Littlefield Company in addition to Steve Stark and Warren. MGM Television is the studio.
In the coming last season of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, June will be withdrawn into the fight to bring Gilead down, and Luke and Moira join the resistance. According to the logline: “Serena tries to reform Gilead, while commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia take into account what they have edited, and Nick is confronted with challenging character tests.”
Halliday has recently finished playing a role in James Mcavoy’s ‘California Schemin’. She won a Scottish BAFTA Award for the main actress for playing Lois in the indignation film “Blue Jean” and was nominated for the role in the British Independent Film Awards in 2022.
Halliday is represented by Curtis Brown Group and Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light LLP.
