Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen to lead The Miniature Wife

The Miniature Wife, a romantic dramedy from Peacock, has roped in Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen to star in lead roles. The series comes from creators, showrunners and executive producers Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner.

The Miniature Wife is based on Manuel Gonzalez's short story. 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 lead actors Banks and Macfadyen will also executive produce The Miniature Wife, alongside Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer.

Meanwhile, Macfadyen has Netflix's Death by Lightning in which he will be seen alongside Michael Shannon. He is also a part of Deadpool 3 starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in lead roles. Banks, on the other hand, is currently working on Skincare, co-starring Lewis Pullman and helmed by Austin Peters.
