So this is not going to on "regular" television? Just online through You Tube? I checked my cable channel listings and it is not listed under the title or actors names? My cable does have the Peacock channel.
The link I have been posting above my countdown should send you to the Peacock page for The Miniature Wife and if logged in, I think, and hope, it should tell you if you can watch it on your cable package if there's an online option. I am based in the UK so I am not 100%.

I do know that Comcast own NBCUniversal that contains NBC and Peacock who made The Miniature Wife, and Comcast also own Xfinity, Sky Group (mostly UK & EU based) and Xumo. Link below:

The Miniature Wife premieres on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at 3:01 AM ET on Peacock in the US

Please help a fellow shrinking woman enjoyer here

Hoping it's enjoyable. I woke up at 3am here on the east coast, hoping to catch an episode or two before having to be at work at 7. Was extremely bummed that it wasn't available until 6am, even though several online sources claimed 3am.

I was able to fast forward through the first episode to see the shrinking scene and then a little bit of the second episode, which pretty much matches, though expands upon, things shown in trailers. Really looking forward to watching more of her being tiny, but I'll save my comments for the new discussion threads. Hoping to catch three episodes tonight.

I'm cautiously optimistic I'll enjoy it because I believe Elizabeth Banks fully committed to this, but I'm exoecting subplots with other characters not to be as interesting. We shall see!

I don't know how true this is, but a GTS City member mentioned a work-around:

"Just so yall know Peacock doesn't directly offer a free trial, but you can sign up for a 30-day Walmart Plus trial for a dollar which comes with your choice of Peacock or Paramount+"

In the short story, the husband suspects Richard Paul Weir is shrinking himself to have trysts with the wife. But in the story, there are several miniaturization methods, so Richard can be restored. So I'm not surprised this happens.

Also, in interviews and a behind-the-scenes video, O-T Fagbenle referenced green-screen work, so i assumed that he'd shrink at some point. Didn't expect this early, but I'm not surprised.

I think it's perfectly fair to complain about the bait and switch. Nothing with SW can EVER be mainly SW. It always has to be turned on its head to the mainstream SM/GTS side, and sexy visuals are reserved to objectify men only.

I wasn't expecting anything explicit from this show, but for fuck's sake, just keep the focus on the tiny woman for ONCE! That's something The Incredible Shrinking Woman did right

Well, only had time to watch parts of two episodes so far. Good thing they dropped all ten at once since they only really get into the SW scenes in episode 2. So far Zoe Lister-Jones's character is shaping up to be a favorite and O-T Fagbenle's is surprisingly sympathetic given what he's up to.

Also learned what Mr. Magoo has to do with anything and who Bob the Explainer is.

Agreed. Biggest let down would be Lindy getting her size restored, but the SM's remain shrunken :(
