Sky has released the first trailer for Succession and Pride & Prejudice star Matthew Macfadyen's new comedy-drama The Miniature Wife.
Based on the short story written by Manuel Gonzales, the series follows a married couple who’re left with quite a big (little) problem when Les (Macfadyen) accidentally shrinks his wife in a technological mishap.
The show, which stars The Hunger Games's Elizabeth Banks as Les's wife Lindy, examines the “power (im)balances between spouses after a technological accident induces the ultimate relationship crisis,” according to the official synopsis.
The new trailer gives fans a first look at how this accident occurs, as Les (MacFadyen) is shown developing a new technology that he hopes will line him up for a Nobel.
“I am creating the bio-agritech that will change the world. I call it the miracle of miniaturisation," he says in the footage.
But what he doesn't expect it to do is shrink his wife, who gets in the way of an experiment and suffers the effects herself.
“So this is my tiny little life now”, she says as she struggles to navigate her massive house, and is forced to fight a housefly with a bow and arrow.
