In The Testaments, the world of Gilead isn’t just about control, it’s about conditioning.

I sat down with Birva Pandya to talk about stepping into this next chapter of the The Handmaid’s Tale universe, where we see what it looks like to be raised inside a system that was designed to shape you.

From the psychology behind obedience, to the unsettling way power and belonging operate in Gilead, this conversation dives into the layers that make The Testaments feel both distant, and uncomfortably familiar.

We also talk about:

-What it means to grow up without choice
-The blurred line between survival and complicity
-Why stories like this continue to resonate across generations
