**Alternative Title:** *Netflix Somehow Decides to Make Us Watch the Gilead Bureaucrats Do Their TPS Reports*

**OH NO. ANYWAY.**

So like, Hulu just dropped the trailer for *The Testaments* Season 2 (the show literally nobody asked for, but we’ll all watch because we’re masochists). Turns out, the sequel to *The Handmaid’s Tale* is BACK, baby. And by “back,” I mean it looks exactly like a CW spin-off where Aunt Lydia is the boss girling her way through the patriarchy while a bunch of Gen Z handmaids are like, “Okay, but the vibes are just SO toxic.”

**AITA for thinking this is just *Suits* but with more rape?**

The trailer shows Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd, a national treasure who deserves better than this) doing her whole “I’m a monster but also a complex feminist icon” schtick, while the younger rebels look like they’re cosplaying as extras from *The Hunger Games: Reheated*. The plot? Two teenagers from Gilead and Canada (yes, Canada is still the smug safe place) try to like, take down the patriarchy with... a lot of intense whispering and running through foggy forests.

TL;DR: We’re getting 12 episodes of slow-motion reactions to a scrolling ticker tape that says “Oppression is bad,” set to a haunting cover of “Video Killed the Radio Star.”

But hey, at least we get to see if Aunt Lydia finally files those TPS reports. **10/10 will hate-watch and then tweet about how the book was better. (It wasn’t.)**
