Every ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Easter Egg in ‘The Testaments’ (So Far)

On Wednesday, April 8, The Testaments premiered its first three episodes, featuring secret radio cameos including Emmy-winning actor Elisabeth Moss, who reprises her role as June Osborne via voice in the opening scene.
Radio Free America, a secret station established by the American resistance in The Handmaid's Tale, broadcasts rebellion updates and messages from Mayday to citizens trapped within Gilead, providing the narrative context for these cameos.
The Late Show host Stephen Colbert voices the announcer, echoing Oprah Winfrey's previous role, while actor Sam Jaeger returns as Mark Tuello, heard fighting to restore the United States government.
Radio messages reveal June remains active with Mayday, and before Episode 3 concludes, she offers Daisy her signature advice: "Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down."
Set four years after The Handmaid's Tale, the series features Aunt Lydia elevated in Gilead with the Aunt Lydia School named after her, anchoring deliberate references to the original narrative.
