The symbolism in the trailer for The Miniature Wife is hard to miss.
Starring Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen, the upcoming Peacock series sees a woman accidentally shrunk by her husband. You heard me, the act of women taking up space is literally reversed when Lindy (Banks) finds herself the size of a doll (in a dollhouse-sized version of their house, too). And her apologetic husband Les (Macfadyen) seems to be…secretly chuffed by it all. Hmmmmm…
The 10-episode show is based on a short story written by Manuel Gonzales and directed by Superbad‘s Greg Mottola. The Miniature Wife also stars O-T Fagbenle, Sian Clifford, Ronny Chieng, Zoe Lister-Jones, Sofia Rosinsky, and Aasif Mandvi.
The Miniature Wife premieres April 9 on Peacock.
