Sony Pictures Television Sells The Miniature Wife Globally

Sony Pictures Television has closed sales for The Miniature Wife in over 70 territories worldwide.

The Miniature Wife has been picked up by HBO Max across North America, LatAm, Central and Eastern Europe, Poland, EMEA and AsiaPac regions. This announcement follows after the series was already sold to Sky (U.K. and Ireland), Stan (Australia) and Bell Media (Canada).

Greg Mottola (Superbad, Nobody Wants This) serves as a director and executive producer on the series. Elizabeth Banks, Matthew Macfadyen, Michael Aguilar (I’m Dying Up Here, Kidding) and Suzanne Heathcote (The Crowded Room, Killing Eve) also serve as executive producers, alongside Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res.

From Media Res (The Morning Show, Pachinko), The Miniature Wife is a comedic drama that examines the power imbalances between spouses, played by Banks (The Better Sister, Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games franchise) and Macfadyen (Succession, Death by Lightning), who battle each other for supremacy following a technological accident where a husband accidentally shrinks his wife.

“Fresh off our screening of The Miniature Wife and buzz at MIPCOM, we are thrilled to announce a round of global sales,” said Mike Wald, co-president of distribution and networks of Sony Pictures Television. “The series has huge star power—led by Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen—a wildly unique and inventive concept and razor-sharp writing. These sales are a testament to the strong commercial appeal of the series Media Res have produced. We believe audiences around the world will relate to the wit and honesty of these flawed yet funny characters.”

The series will premiere on Peacock in the U.S. in 2026.
