Who's in the Cast of Peacock Comedy The Miniature Wife

Shrinking relationship problems down to size.

By Madeline Nagler

What happens when marriage gets a little... unbalanced? Peacock’s upcoming original comedy The Miniature Wife takes relationship power struggles to a whole new level – by making one spouse much smaller than the other.

What is The Miniature Wife about?

Based on the short story by Manuel Gonzales, the Original comedy series follows a couple navigating the ultimate marital crisis after a technological accident miniaturizes the wife. What starts as a bizarre mishap quickly turns into an offbeat examination of power, control, and what it truly means to be seen in a relationship. 

Starring and executive produced by Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession, Deadpool & Wolverine), the series blends high-concept sci-fi with sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy.
