Rachel Weisz will star alongside Rachel Weisz in Dead Ringers, and a new trailer gives us a first look at her in action twice over in the Amazon thriller.

A modern reimagining of David Cronenberg’s psychosexual thriller, the series will see Weisz play Beverly and Elliot Mantle, twins who 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 health care to the forefront.

Created, written, and executive produced by Alice Birch (Normal People, Succession, The Wonder), with Weisz also exec-producing, the series will premiere on 21st April, when all six episodes arrive at once. Here’s the new video:
