I want to rewatch it fully and take my time to properly digest it before I commit to writing a review, but just as a general feeling I’m still amazed that this show even exists. They managed to included so many details that tells me someone on the writing team is either “one of us”, or they seriously did their homework.

Of course I have plenty of nitpicking and things I would have preferred to see (or not see) but to me this is destined to be a classic in the size community. There is also rumors of a second season, but for me this story is done, and I don’t see how they could top it. Sure, I’m never against MORE shrinking women, but that by itself is not enough to make a mainstream show.

Meanwhile, I’ve posted some clips (one per episode) on my channel if you want to take a look but beware, they all include spoilers (they are currently blocked by copyright in the USA, but visible everywhere else)

Entertainment Weekly created a short reel to advertise their coverage of The Miniature Wife. I made a copy for my SW archive :

Here is their article:

Loved this quote

“What interested me about it was just the conversation: What is soft power versus hard power,” says Banks who, alongside Macfadyen, also signed on as an executive producer. “Because obviously he’s physically huge and could squash [shrunken] me like a bug, but I have a lot of soft power in the relationship and influence over him and know how to use it.”

Also using props to make her feel smol

“The ultimate goal was to do as many things as we could to make this feel grounded for Elizabeth, because the bigger the prop, the more she felt like a 6-inch tall woman…”

JUST OVER A WEEK LEFT… this is it!

Oh yeah! Peacock just published a short behind the scenes video with more new footage…

I’ve already answered that one on Reddit

I’m not dominant IRL. I’m a shy, introverted guy, always have, always been (to an extreme as a child, which lead to bullying and other unfun things). But seriously, that’s like… 90% of the reason why I enjoy the fantasy of shrinking women down - in my mind, when they are vulnerable, I can become confident with them, someone in charge, in control, and/or protective and assertive.

If you knew me IRL, you could never guess that I hide a dominant side.

I’m pretty sure the idea of shrinking someone, making them smaller, vulnerable, was born as a cope for my IRL social anxiety, introversion and extreme shyness. Imagining a place where I’m in control, confident, where I’m in charge, and having someone to care for and protect, is all that I’m lacking IRL. A shrunken woman can be my toy, a comfort plushie, a friend, a lover… And it’s always been a source of comfort to me, and the secret place my mind goes to unwind.

@BryTheGuy said in Variety article on upcoming The Miniature Wife:

Might just be the scale of the VFX not being 100% consistent between scenes.

Can’t ever trust normies to focus on the most important details on the show /jk

Even with a tape measure they failed

That’s below six inches!

Couldn’t resist uploading a few screenshots

Handheld… is it their first?

She’s less than 6 inches, maybe 5?

Finger hug

I’m very sorry @Olo but the new trailer is OUT!

It’s a “poof” shrink but seems to be shrinking out of clothes!

Also : Handheld, finger cuddles, giant wedding ring…

I’m expecting the full trailer to drop around March 8th, so only a few more weeks now. In the meantime, Collider published a new picture from the show!

In anticipation of the premiere, we’re excited to spotlight the adaptation with a new image of a teenie tiny Banks as part of Collider’s Exclusive Preview series for upcoming spring television shows and movies.

Love that she beheaded the Nutcracker prince, and how she’s using the earbuds Also shows that she’ll remain shrunk for a long time, which is great for character development and the effect that will have on her mental health. I mean, it’s one thing to be tiny for a day, but for weeks… months?!

Short clip from an interview with Elisazeth Banks, promotion for Miniature Wife during the Superbowl pre-show. I just love how they’re casually talking about shrinking, and that they actually used a doll prop for him to record his lines, basically doing “sizey roleplay” IRL when filming.

“He accidentally shrinks you…” Hahaha, yes… an accident. Totally!

In the book he does shrink stuff for her, so that’s how she’s getting the tiny things her size. I wish she was in an actual dollhouse rather than one with plumbing and electricity but I understand it’s easier for them with the sets and all.

Well that didn’t take long Enjoy the short teaser (trailer should come out later this month!)

We are but days away from seeing the first trailer for The Miniature Wife, either at the Superbowl or during the Olympics. Finally, after all this time! The rumoured air date is now April 9th, and the main cast is know mostly known :

Only a bit more patience now…

@miss-lillipants I’m not done reading but I’m already loving it! I’ll admit I’m a sucker for Stockholm Syndrome stories

I’ve had problems with Batoto from my end, pictures not loading but I found that LunaToons worked perfectly:

Thank you so much for sharing!

@sirensinner Not open at all. Even as a child I knew something wasn’t quite ‘right’ with me, so I kept this under lock and key, even more so after puberty.

I did try to tell the women who shared my life, but I never could. Awkward, introverted & shy, so communication has never been my forte, let alone discussion about my secret fetish. I have lots of respect to people coming out to their partners.

I think as an older (in my 40s) dom male, it’s simply hard mode. Subby, tiny men offer this “power reversal” trope. Women wanting to be big or shrinking men is “empowering”. But someone like me? I’m “perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes” Only half-joking, because that’s what a lot of normies (and even people in this community) think of classic BDSM, so imagine their reactions to me wanting to shrink women down and use them for sexual gratification?!

I tried to tell my sister with whom I’m otherwise very close, but even then it was a disaster. She was clearly uncomfortable and changed the topic, after acting like this discussion never happened

I’m most certainly taking this to my grave.

Tinies always know how to find the best spot

(Meanwhile here it’s -15C and it’s dropping to -30C in a few days Could definitely use some beach weather)
