Rachel Weisz Is Doing Double Duty In The First Look At The Dead Ringers TV Series

What could possibly be better than Rachel Weisz? How about Rachel Weizes? (Or Rachels Weisz?) Either way you look at it, a double dose of the actor is a good thing, and she's twinned up for the new TV adaptation of David Cronenberg's 1988 thriller Dead Ringers, with new images online.

Yes, not a TV version of the Radio 4 series with political and pop cultural impressions, this instead finds Weisz as Elliot and Beverly Mantle, twins who share everything: drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes… including pushing the boundaries of medical ethics—in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women’s health care to the forefront. Will that lead to danger and dodgy dealings? We'd be shocked if it didn't!

This new limited series is created, written, and executive produced by Emmy-nominated writer and playwright Alice Birch, a veteran of shows such as Succession and Normal People. The cast also includes Britne Oldford as Genevieve, Poppy Liu as Greta, Michael Chernus as Tom, Jennifer Ehle as Rebecca, and Emily Meade as Susan.

Dead Ringers will debut all six episodes at once on Prime Video on 21 April.
