Highs and lows are part of any marriage, but a scientific accident is hardly the storm most couples expect. That bizarre accident lies at the heart of the new dramedy The Miniature Wife. Starring Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen as the couple, the series is based on a story written by Manuel Gonzales.

Finally, after much anticipation, a first look at the series has finally arrived. And as expected, the first teaser hints at the incredible chaos and bizarre incidents that are set to follow in the long ride of 10 episodes.

The Miniature Wife, a Sony Pictures Television series, follows the lives of a couple, Lindy and Les, who are already struggling in their marriage when they face an unexpected crisis. The chaos begins when Les accidentally shrinks his wife, Lindy, to six inches tall. And the trailer shows Elizabeth Banks, who plays Lindy, dealing with her tiny new world in a dollhouse while pressuring her husband to return her to her original size.

Meanwhile, Matthew Macfadyen, who was recently announced as part of Séance on a Wet Afternoon, plays the role of Les, who desperately tries to fix his mistake. Sian Clifford appears as Lindy’s friend and work partner in the series. The three are joined by Zoe Lister-Jones, Sofia Rosinsky, Aasif Mandvi, Tricia Black, Ronny Chieng, and Rong Fu.

As bizarre as Les and Lindy’s story sounds, it is also quite exciting and relatable, and that is something the cast cannot stop talking about. Both Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen have spoken fondly about the new project.

Speaking about the bizarre premise of The Miniature Wife, Matthew Macfadyen appeared confident about the project and its unusual direction.

It’s a ridiculous thing, but also immediately intriguing. But it’s also about a relationship,” Macfadyen told Variety at Mipcom. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Banks, who plays Lindy, has also opened up about what drew her to the series. She described the concept as refreshing, bold, and genuinely intriguing enough to convince her to hop on it.

“The writing is great, really snappy and acidic, but sort of tender as well,” she said. “When you have something so heightened, it’s thrilling to jump in and see where it leads you."

While romantic comedies blended with science fiction are not entirely new, this series leans into its unexpected elements that is sure to keep the viewers hooked till the end. As for the release date, all the episodes will be available to stream on Peacock starting on April 9.
