Hannah was introduced in The Handmaid’s Tale. She was the daughter of the protagonist, June Osborne, who served as an emotional anchor for the story. She was the primary reason behind June’s bravery and the motivation that pushed her to keep fighting. When Hannah was taken by a high-ranking Gilead family, under the rule of the totalitarian state, instead of breaking down and putting the guards down, June fought till the very end. However, she couldn’t reunite with her daughter despite putting her all in the rescue mission. So, now that the sequel is nearing its official release, fans wonder if Hannah is in The Testaments.
Does The Testaments Feature Hannah Bankole?
Yes, The Testament features Hannah Bankole. She is the lead character of the sequel, who is all set to carry forward her mother’s legacy. However, she appears as Agnes in The Testaments, as her foster parents named her that. She was very young when she was seperated from her parents, so Agnes aka. Hannah initially doesn’t remember anything in the sequel. She grew up in Gilead, so she believes in the system and the rules because she doesn’t know anything about the world that exists outside.
Initially, she also doesn’t question anything, but as the story moves ahead, she starts realizing that Gilead has nothing pleasant to offer. She is the daughter of a woman who doesn’t know how to give up, so we may witness the same persona emerging from Hannah.
Who Is Hannah in The Handmaid’s Tale?
Hannah is the biological daughter of June Osborne and Luke Bankole, who was born before the rise of the oppressive rule of Gilead. She was taken from her parents when she was 5 years old and given away to a Commander and his wife. June wanted her so bad that she fought to have her daughter back. However, Hannah was so little that she didn’t recognize her mother when she approached to free her daughter from the glass cage she was captured in.
June didn’t reunite with Hannah in The Handmaid’s Tale, but as she didn’t die, her fight continued even when the final season wrapped up. So, there are fair chances that she could make a cameo in the sequel. Well, nothing about her appearance in The Testaments has been confirmed yet.
Who Plays Hannah in The Testaments?
Chase Infiniti replaces Jordana Blake as Hannah in The Testaments. The actress has previously appeared in the television series Presumed Innocent in the lead role, and in the most recent Leonardo DiCaprio film, One Battle After Another, as a crucial character. So, as Infiniti has already shown her ability to carry emotionally-driven characters, she seems a perfect choice for Hannah.
