The Miniature Wife premieres on Sky this April
February 5, 2026
All episodes of the new Sky Exclusive comedy-drama, The Miniature Wife, starring Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen will be available on Sky and streaming service NOW from April 9th in the UK & Ireland.
Marriage gets hilariously complicated in The Miniature Wife, when Banks (Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games) is unexpectedly shrunk in a technological mishap, much to the surprise of her husband, played by Macfadyen (Succession). Domestic life takes a turn for the perfectly mismatched pair, as their day-to-day turns into a battle for power.
Emmy-nominated Banks and BAFTA-winning Macfadyen are joined in the cast by Zoe Lister-Jones (Slip, Beau is Afraid), O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale, Presumed Innocent), Sian Clifford (Fleabag, The Ballad of Wallis Island), and Sofia Rosinsky (Paper Girls, Death and Other Details) as series regulars, and Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, Crazy Rich Asians), Aasif Mandvi (Evil, The Daily Show), Rong Fu (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Hello (Again)) and Tricia Black (Small Achievable Goals, Pretty Hard Cases) in recurring roles.
The Miniature Wife, based on author Manuel Gonzales’ short story, is created by Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner (Boardwalk Empire, Goliath), who serve as showrunners and executive producers.
Greg Mottola (Superbad, The Daytrippers) serves as a director (episodes 1, 2, 7, 8) and executive producer on the series. Banks, Macfadyen, Michael Aguilar (I’m Dying Up Here, Kidding), Suzanne Heathcote (The Crowded Room, Killing Eve) also serve as executive producers, alongside Michael Ellenberg, and Lindsey Springer for Media Res (The Morning Show, Pachinko).
The Miniature Wife is produced by Media Res Studio and distributed by Sony Pictures Television. The deal with Sony Pictures Television was negotiated by Katie Keenan, Group Director of Acquisitions for Sky UK and Europe, and Facundo Bailez, Head of Acquisitions for Sky UK and Europe.
