The first images have been released for Dead Ringers, an upcoming limited series First video based on David Cronenberg’s 1988 psychological thriller.

Rachel Weisz plays the dual leads of Elliot and Beverly Mantle, “twins who share everything: drugs, lovers and an unconditional desire to do whatever it takes – including pushing the boundaries of medical ethics — in an effort to challenge outdated practices and bring women’s health care to the fore,” according to Amazon’s press release.

The Cronenberg original starred Jeremy Irons in a dual role as identical twin gynecologists Elliot and Beverly Mantle, who specialize in treating fertility issues. He placed very high many best horror movies of all time.

The six-episode series also stars Britne Oldford (The Umbrella Academy, American Horror Story: Asylum) as Genevieve, Poppy Liu (Hacks, Better Call Saul) as Greta, Michael Chernus (Severance, Orange is the New Black) as Tom, Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty, Saint Maud) as Rebecca and Emily Meade (The Deuce, The Leftovers) as Susan.

Alice Birch (Normal People, Succession, The Wonder) is the showrunner, with Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene, The Nest, The Iron Claw) directing half of the episodes.

All six episodes of Dead Ringers are set to premiere April 21 on Prime Video.
