“We are really excited to be partnering with the talented team at Media Res and can’t wait to bring The Miniature Wife to audiences around the world,” said Mike Wald, co-president of distribution and networks at SPT. “The Miniature Wife is ‘must have content’. Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen are an undeniable pairing. The humor is both distinctive and smart, and it’s a heck of a lot of fun,”

The Miniature Wife is created by Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner, who serve as showrunners and executive producers.
