Prime Video has delivered a first look at Rachel Weisz in the forthcoming Dead Ringers series over at the streamer. Britne Oldford, Poppy Liu, Michael Chernus, Jennifer Ehle, and Emily Meade are among the principal cast of the show, which hits on 21st April.

A modern take on David Cronenberg’s 1988 thriller starring Jeremy Irons, Dead Ringers will feature Rachel Weisz playing the double-lead roles of Elliot and Beverly Mantle, twins who share everything: Drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes—including pushing the boundaries on medical ethics—in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women’s health care to the forefront. 

As we said, the series’ ensemble cast includes Britne Oldford (The Umbrella AcademyAmerican Horror Story: Asylum) as Genevieve, Poppy Liu (HacksiCarly) as Greta, Michael Chernus (SeveranceOrange is the New Black) as Tom, Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark ThirtySaint Maud) as Rebecca, and Emily Meade (The DeuceThe Leftovers) as Susan.

 Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May MarleneThe NestThe Iron Claw) directed the first two episodes and co-directed the last episode of the series. Durkin also serves as an executive producer. The directing team also includes Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s BodyGirlfight), Karena Evans (P-ValleySnowfall), and Lauren Wolkstein (A Friend of the FamilyY: The Last Man). 

Here’s the teaser trailer.
