Get ready for a thrilling ride as we dive into the world of 'The Miniature Wife'! This captivating series, starring the talented Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks, has already made waves globally, even before its official release. But here's where it gets controversial...
'The Miniature Wife' has become a hot commodity, with deals secured in over 70 countries! Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has been busy, pre-selling this unique drama to various platforms. HBO Max has snapped it up for Latin America, while beIN has acquired the rights for the Middle East and North Africa. And this is the part most people miss: the series hasn't even premiered yet!
The story follows Les and Lindy, a couple played by Macfadyen and Banks, who are navigating the challenges of keeping their marriage afloat. But there's a twist! Lindy has been accidentally shrunk to a mere six inches tall, adding a whole new dimension to their relationship drama. It's a high-concept idea that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
After a glitzy screening at the MIPCOM market in Cannes, the series gained even more traction. Macfadyen himself, along with co-stars Sian Clifford and O-T Fagbenle, participated in a Q&A session moderated by Deadline. Macfadyen highlighted the unique nature of the show, saying, "Because it's so heightened, you can play it really life and death."
Created by Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner, the series is based on a short story by author Manuel Gonzales. Media Res, known for their work on 'Pachinko', is producing this highly anticipated drama. Mike Wald, Co-President of Distribution & Networks at SPT, praised the series, stating, "The series has huge star power, a wildly unique concept, and razor-sharp writing. These sales are a testament to its commercial appeal, and we believe audiences will connect with these flawed yet funny characters."
So, will 'The Miniature Wife' live up to the hype? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: this series is a must-watch, and we can't wait to see how it unfolds. What do you think? Will you be tuning in? Let's discuss in the comments!
