If there was ever a time to invest in Deborah Ann Woll stock, it’s right now. After starring in the central role of Karen Page in all three seasons of Netflix’s Daredevil series, Woll was brought back to star in the reboot series, Daredevil: Born Again. Unfortunately for Daredevil fans, news broke this week that Daredevil: Born Again is ending with Season 3, which has already wrapped production and is expected to be released sometime next year. This was especially disappointing considering other members of the Defenders, including Luke Cage and Iron Fist, were already confirmed to appear in Season 3. Woll has also been tapped to lead the first new God of War spin-off game, God of War Laufey, which is coming to PlayStation next year. She previously featured as Laufey in God of War: Ragnarök.
Although Wall’s time in the Daredevil universe may be coming to an end, assuming she isn’t brought back for a role later this year in Avengers: Doomsday, that isn’t stopping her from moving full steam ahead with new projects. News broke this afternoon that Woll is officially joining the Season 2 cast of of Hulu’s hit sci-fi series, The Testaments, along with Luke Kirby, who recently featured in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Woll will play Sylvia, who works as a seamstress to keep her in proximity with the wives and daughters of Gilead’s commanders. Meanwhile, Kirby has been tapped to play the literal-minded Commander Fletcher, who lives as a recluse on a farm where his personality has made it difficult to find a wife.
What Is ‘The Testaments’ About?
Hulu’s official synopsis for The Testaments, which holds scores of 88% from critics and 83% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: “An evolution of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments is a dramatic coming-of-age story set in Gilead. The series follows young teens Agnes Mackenzie, dutiful and pious, and Daisy, a new arrival and convert from beyond Gilead’s borders. As they navigate the gilded halls of Aunt Lydia’s elite preparatory school for future wives, a place where obedience is instilled brutally and always with divine justification, their bond becomes the catalyst that will upend their past, their present, and their future.” The Testaments is led by Chase Infiniti, who recently broke out thanks to her role in One Battle After Another. She’s also famous for starring in Presumed Innocent on Apple TV.
