Shows like The Testaments

If you're drawn to The Testaments for its focus on young women resisting patriarchal indoctrination through forbidden knowledge and moral compromise, you'll likely find similar ground in The Handmaid's Tale (the prequel's generational reckoning), War Cake (intimate psychological portraits of religious rebellion), and Ascension: I Am Not My Mother (resistance weaponized through writing and internal defiance). The tone across these tends toward unflinching examination of complicity and conscience rather than triumphalism, and the pacing prioritizes psychological depth over plot momentum. Less certain—but potentially rewarding—are The Chosen, Revelations: The Initial Journey, and Vanished - Left Behind: Next Generation, which share the generational conflict and moral archaeology, though their formal approaches vary considerably.
