Prime Video today released the teaser trailer for its six-episode psychological thriller “Dead Ringers” starring Rachel Weisz in the double-lead roles of  twin gynecologists Beverly and Elliot Mantle that has its streaming premiere on April 21. A modern reboot of writer-director David Cronenberg’s 1988 film classic of the same name that starred Jeremy Irons and Genevieve Bujold, the Mantle twins are women who  are said to “share everything: drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes – including pushing the boundaries of medical ethics – in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women’s healthcare to the forefront.” See the trailer below.
