The Miniature Wife, which premiered last week on Peacock, features a ton of familiar faces, including O-T Fagbenle, who turns in a hilarious turn as Richie to counter his much more serious dramatic performances in The Handmaid’s Tale and Presumed Innocent.

Richie is a physicist assisting Les Littlejohn (Matthew Macfadyen) in his quest to miniaturize and regrow biological organisms to solve world hunger issues — and win a Nobel Peace Prize in the process, of course. As dedicated as he is to that work, though, Richie’s heart is somewhere else; he’s desperately in love with Richie’s wife, Lindy (Elizabeth Banks), and would do anything for her. Worse, she knows it and uses it to her advantage during a devastating disagreement with Les; she is miniaturized and kept in a dollhouse to await the completion of his experimental regrowth formula. This leads to some hilarious hijinks, of which Richie becomes a very large — make that small — part.
