OTT Platform Peacock released the first teaser of the upcoming series The Miniature Wife, starring Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen in lead roles and it shows the couple having to deal with a "small" issue that has caused a mighty shift in their relationship.
The short 50-second teaser sees Lindy (Banks) waking up shocked after discovering that she has been shrunk to the size of a doll due to a scientific accident. The rest of the video shows her trying to stay alive and fed, while also struggling to navigate the issues she has with Les (Macfadyen).
The series is described as "A high-concept marital dramedy examining the power (im)balances between spouses, Lindy (Banks) and Les (Macfadyen), who battle each other for supremacy after a technological accident induces the ultimate relationship crisis." The series, from showrunners Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner, is based on a short story written by Manuel Gonzales.
