The Miniature Wife (Peacock 2026 Series) Trailer Song
A love story with one very unusual complication. The Miniature Wife, based on the short story by Manuel Gonzales, is a sharp dramedy that explores the shifting power dynamics within a marriage after a bizarre technological mishap triggers the ultimate relationship crisis.
The series centers on Lindy (played by Elizabeth Banks) and Les (Matthew Macfadyen), a couple whose relationship is already under strain. When Les, a research scientist, accidentally shrinks Lindy during an experiment gone disastrously wrong, their marital tensions take on a startlingly literal dimension.
Now reduced to a tiny fraction of her former size and forced to live inside a dollhouse, Lindy’s physical transformation becomes a powerful metaphor for how she has long felt in the relationship: small, overlooked, and unheard. As she struggles to navigate a world suddenly filled with outsized dangers, from nearly being swallowed by a roaming robot vacuum to trying to survive on comically oversized pieces of chocolate, the couple’s simmering resentments boil over.
Blending absurd sci-fi situations with sharp emotional insight, the series turns its surreal premise into a biting exploration of ego, ambition, and the fragile balance of love, as Lindy and Les confront the uncomfortable truths at the heart of their marriage and battle to redefine their roles and their power within it.
O-T Fagbenle, Zoe Lister-Jones, Sofia Rosinsky, Ronny Chieng, Sian Clifford, and Aasif Mandvi also star in the upcoming series.
The classic pop-rock song playing in the trailer is “The Things We Do for Love” by the British band 10cc, released in 1976.
“The Things We Do for Love” by 10cc is available for purchase on Amazon as MP3 ($1.29) and for unlimited streaming.
