Peacock has ordered for a romantic dramedy series from Michael Ellenberg’s Media Res, The Miniature Wife, which stars executive producer by Elizabeth Banks from Pitch Perfect and Matthew Macfadyen from Succession.
The series has been created and produced by Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner, who also serve as showrunners. The Miniature Wife was taken out to premium buyers at the start of the year. While the series had attracted multiple buyers, making it quite a competitive scene, but it ended up at Peacock.
The series is based on a short story written by Manuel Gonzalez, which goes by the same name. The plot of the story focuses on the balance of power between spouses, Lindy, played by Elizabeth, and Les, played by Matthew, who are up against one another for supremacy after a technological accident induces the ultimate relationship crisis.
