All 10 episodes of The Miniature Wife will be available to watch on Sky and NOW in the UK from Thursday 9th April – meaning there's just a couple of months left to wait.
The release date news was announced alongside a first-look trailer being unveiled, which sets up the premise. As seen in the footage, a married couple face some really rather extreme troubles when the husband accidentally shrinks his wife in a technological mishap.
The synopsis for the series says: "Domestic life takes a turn for the perfectly mismatched pair, as their day-to-day turns into a razor-sharp battle for power."
You can watch the trailer, which sets up the literal life-or-death stakes, right here.
