Prime Video had announced earlier announced that it will release a series named Dead Ringers on its platform and fixed an April 21 streaming premiere date for all six episodes of the limited series starring Oscar winner Rachel Weisz in the double-lead roles of twin gynecologists Beverly and Elliot Mantle. Weisz also serves as executive producer of the project that’s created, written, and executive produced by Emmy-nominated writer and playwright Alice Birch (“Normal People,” “Succession,” “The Wonder”), who is also the showrunner.
