The Miniature Wife: Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen Lead Peacock Series

Peacock will premiere The Miniature Wife this spring. Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen star in the new Peacock Original dramedy, which is based on the short story by Manuel Gonzales and comes from Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner (Goliath, Boardwalk Empire).

The series follows married couple Lindy and Les after a "technological accident" leaves Lindy very small. Les, a scientist, ends up with his wife living in a dollhouse, a setup that allows the show to examine power imbalances within a marriage. The teaser also reveals a central problem: when Les tries to make things big again after first making them small, they tend to explode.

All 10 episodes of The Miniature Wife premiere Thursday, April 9, only on Peacock. Banks and Macfadyen executive produce, and the series also features O-T Fagbenle, Zoe Lister-Jones, Sian Clifford and Sofia Rosinsky, with Ronny Chieng, Aasif Mandvi, Rong Fu and Tricia Black recurring.
