March 4, 2026 \u2014 Stan today released the trailer for the highly anticipated 10-episode series The Miniature Wife, a dark, comedic battle of wills between an egotistical scientist and his shrunken spouse.

When brilliant but egotistical scientist Les (Matthew Macfadyen) accidentally shrinks his wife Lindy (Elizabeth Banks) during a failed experiment, he promises to fix it in a day or two, tops. But as the days drag on, Lindy realises her captivity isn\u2019t an accident\u2026 it\u2019s control. Trapped in a dollhouse and armed with nothing but her wits, she begins to fight back. What starts as a marriage in crisis spirals into an epic, twisted battle for dominance and survival.<\/p>\n
