79 Dead Ringers (2023): Season 1

Drama/horror series debuts April 21 on Prime Video

A gender-swapped, present-day adaptation of David Cronenberg's 1988 film, Amazon's Dead Ringers comes from Emmy nominee Alice Birch (Normal People) and stars Rachel Weisz as unusually close twin gynecologists Beverly and Elliot Mantle. When they're not pushing the boundaries of medical ethics while trying to modernize women's health care, you might find them sharing drugs, lovers, and more. Poppy Liu, Michael Chernus, Britne Oldford, Jennifer Ehle, and Emily Meade also star, while directors include Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene) and Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body). All six episodes stream on day one.
