Who Plays Agnes in Handmaid’s Tale Spinoff The Testaments? What to Know

Chase Infiniti is ushering in a new Gilead era on the upcoming Handmaid’s Tale spinoff, The Testaments.

“I can’t tell you much, but I’m really excited for Handmaid’s Tale fans to watch the show,” Infiniti, born Chase Infiniti Payne, teased to Today in October 2025. “It’s a different form of Gilead that a lot of people haven’t seen before. [The] cast is amazing, crew is amazing, so I think that people are really going to enjoy the story.”

The Testaments, based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel of the same name, is set years after the events in The Handmaid’s Tale. The sequel, specifically, follows the daughter of Offred/June Osborn (Elisabeth Moss) as she comes of age under the dystopian regime.

Who Does Chase Infiniti Play in ‘The Testaments?’

Infiniti plays Agnes, who is June and husband Luke Bankole’s (O-T Fagbenle) daughter originally named Hannah.

As fans will remember, Hannah was taken from June and Luke after Gilead overthrew the American government. Hannah was subsequently adopted by a Gileadian commander and his wife, who changed her name to Agnes. In The Testaments, Agnes is one of the three narrators alongside Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) and Daisy (Lucy Halliday).

“You’re getting to see what it’s like growing up in Gilead from somebody who has no opinion of the world outside,” Infiniti told Dazed in December 2025, teasing her role.

Was Chase Infiniti in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale?’

The role of Hannah/Agnes on The Handmaid’s Tale was portrayed by Jordana Blake, not Infiniti. In fact, Infiniti was still in high school when the Hulu hit premiered in 2017.

“It was not one of my shows [that I watched] because it was too heavy at times, for what I needed,” Infiniti told Dazed in December 2025. “At 17, it felt like a world that was so insane to conceptualize because I was like, ‘There’s no way these things can actually happen in real life.’ But, as I’ve learned, Margaret Atwood didn’t write anything that wasn’t happening in the world.”

Infiniti, meanwhile, did acknowledge that both shows “feel very close” to reality for many individuals currently living in the United States without access to legal abortion and reproductive health care.

“I hope that it wakes people up,” she stated.

Chase Infiniti’s Acting Experience

Infiniti made her TV debut on 2024’s Presumed Innocent for an eight-episode arc as Jaden Sabich. She later made her feature film debut in One Battle After Another, portraying Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor’s onscreen daughter.

“I didn’t get the script until halfway through auditioning,” she told Deadline in December 2025, discussing One Battle After Another. “But when I did, it was a real page-turner. Willa has no fear. I can relate to her stubbornness and resilience, but I don’t think I could handle what she goes through. Her strength is never-ending.”

According to Infiniti, DiCaprio “taught [her] so much” on set.

“Watching the freedom he had with his character choices was wonderful,” she told the outlet. “I feel fortunate to have worked on [director] Paul [Thomas Anderson’s] set with such an incredible cast.”

Infiniti also booked a role in the upcoming The Julia Set, opposite Christopher Briney and Halle Bailey.

Chase Infiniti Received Her 1st Major Award Nomination for ‘One Battle After Another’

It was announced in December 2025 that Infiniti scored a Best Actress nod at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, alongside Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Renate Reisve, Amanda Seyfried and Emma Stone.

Chase Infiniti Has a K-Pop Dance Group

“It’s still my hobby,” she said on the Today show in October 2025. “I try to do it as much as I can still.”

Infiniti performs some of the biggest K-pop hits alongside her best friends.

“She danced, I danced, and we were like, ‘We should start learning these dances to the songs that we really like,’” she recalled on Today. “Then, we’ve done competitions before and I’ve met a lot of [other] friends that way.”

The Testaments premieres on Hulu in April 2026.
