If you’ve read The Testaments, Margaret Atwood‘s sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, and watched The Testaments TV show on Hulu, you know that there’s been a major change to the character of Daisy. While much of Daisy’s essence is maintained in the series adaptation, adapted by the creator of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, there is one major difference that sets the show apart from its source material. We asked the creator, Bruce Miller, to explain the change. Warning: Spoilers for The Testaments Episodes 1-3 and The Testaments novel ahead.

Set about four years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale series finale, The Testaments is a coming-of-age story that finds a new generation of young women in Gilead grappling with the bleak future that awaits them. For these young women, growing up in Gilead is all they have ever known, having no tangible memories of the outside world before their indoctrination into this life. Facing the prospect of being married off and living a life of servitude, they will be forced to search for allies, both new and old, to help in their fight for freedom and the life they deserve.
