Following her breakout role in the best picture–winning “One Battle After Another,” 51 alum Chase Infiniti ’22 leads Hulu “The Testaments,” based on Margaret Atwood acclaimed novel.

Chase Infiniti ’22 is stepping into a leading role in one of television’s most closely watched adaptations, following a year that positioned her among the industry’s fastest-rising actors. 

She stars in Hulu’s “The Testaments,” based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel and sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The series continues Atwood’s dystopian world years later, shifting focus to a new generation of young women raised inside Gilead—where identity, power, and obedience are shaped from birth.  

Infiniti plays Agnes MacKenzie, a girl raised within Gilead’s ruling class who begins to question both her place in the system and the system itself. The role places her at the center of a story about indoctrination and awakening, where personal realization becomes a form of resistance.  

The project follows a breakout year for Infiniti on screen. 

In “One Battle After Another,” the Paul Thomas Anderson—–directed film that went on to win Best Picture at the 2025 Academy Awards, Infiniti starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in a performance that anchored the film’s emotional core. Her work earned widespread recognition across the industry, including nominations for a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe, along with multiple breakthrough honors from critics nationwide.  

That momentum has translated quickly into more leading roles. 

Showrunner Bruce Miller cast Infiniti in “The Testaments” after seeing her performance in “Presumed Innocent” and noting her range across disciplines, from dramatic acting to movement-based work. The result is a performance that relies less on spectacle and more on interiority—tracking Agnes’ gradual shift from compliance to awareness within a tightly controlled world. 

While “The Handmaid’s Tale” focused on survival within Gilead, “The Testaments” expands the lens, examining how the system sustains itself through younger generations—and how it begins to fracture from within.  

For Infiniti, the role reflects a trajectory that has moved quickly from emerging talent to central figure in major projects across film and television. 

A graduate of 51’s musical theatre program, she has spoken about how her training helped her expand into on-camera work, building the emotional precision and adaptability that now define her performances.  

With “The Testaments,” Infiniti is not just joining a high-profile series—she is leading a story rooted in one of the most influential literary worlds of the past decade, carrying that legacy forward through a character navigating its most controlled and consequential spaces.
