Chase Infiniti Discusses Rapid Career Success in The Testaments

Actress Chase Infiniti is joining the cast of The Testaments, a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale produced for Hulu. In an interview with NPR’s A Martínez published on April 7, 2026, Infiniti discussed her role as Agnes and the trajectory of her career.

The series expands upon the world established by author Margaret Atwood, centering on Gilead, a totalitarian regime that overthrew the United States. Within this society, the government enforces a system of reproductive slavery for women.

The Role of Agnes

Infiniti portrays Agnes, a character she describes as the Princess of Gilead. Because Agnes is the daughter of a high-ranking commander within the regime, she begins the series living a life of significant privilege and protection.

However, this protection is temporary. Infiniti noted that as the story progresses, Agnes experiences a strong awakening regarding the reality of life for young women living under the regime’s control. This transition is supported by the presence of friends whom Agnes loves very deeply.

Infiniti shared that certain aspects of the character were difficult to conceptualize due to the extreme restrictions placed on Agnes’s life. These limitations include a lack of basic autonomy and education.

She’s never walked down the street by herself. She’s never gone to buy groceries. Those kinds of small things are missing from these girls’ lives — not even to mention not even being able to read and write.

Career and Personal Background

Infiniti has seen a rapid rise in her professional visibility, which she described as a rocket ship career. This growth included her attendance at the Series Mania Festival in Lille, France, on March 20, 2026, for the opening ceremony.

During the interview, Infiniti also touched upon the origin of her name. She explained that her middle name, Infiniti, was inspired by the Toy Story phrase to infinity and beyond.

Infiniti stated that the unsettling nature of The Testaments stems from the story’s perceived relevance.
