The Peacock series, which is based on the short story by Manuel Gonzales, "is a dramedy examining the power (im)balances between spouses after a technological accident induces the ultimate relationship crisis," the official logline reads. Banks' Lindy Littlejohn says at the beginning of the footage (below), "My husband and I, we take turns supporting each other. So he supported me through my first book, and now it's my turn."

But when it gets sprayed on Lindy by accident and she gets shrunk down to a few inches tall, Les must quickly find a way to restore her to her regular size. "How long until you can fix me?" Banks character asks Les at the end of the trailer. O-T Fagbenle, Zoe Lister-Jones, Sian Clifford, Sofia Rosinsky, Ronny Chieng, Aasif Mandvi, Rong Fu and Tricia Black round out the cast. The Miniature Wife was created by Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner, who also serve as showrunners and executive producers. Banks, Macfadyen, Michael Aguilar and Suzanne Heathcote also executive produce alongside Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res and Greg Mottola. All 10 episodes of The Miniature Wife premiere April 9 on Peacock. Check out more first-look images below. Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks in 'The Miniature Wife.'
