Rowan Blanchard (Poker Face, Snowpiercer) has joined the series regular cast of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale sequel series, The Testaments, based on the novels by Margaret Atwood, Deadline reported. She joins previously announced leads Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, and Ann Dowd.
Blanchard stars as Shunammite, "a pampered teen from a prominent Gilead family whose status affords her a certain level of respect and power amongst her peers," Deadline noted.
Like the first series, The Testaments is created by Bruce Miller, who serves as showrunner and executive producer. Also exec producing are Warren Littlefield, Steve Stark, and Mike Barker, who will direct the first three episodes. MGM Television is the studio.
