*Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz stars in the eagerly anticipated limited series 'Dead Ringers'. *

A modern take on David Cronenberg’s 1988 classic film, *Dead Ringers* is a limited series starring Rachel Weisz playing the double-lead role of Elliot and Beverly Mantle, twins who share everything: drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes – including pushing the boundaries on medical ethics – in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women’s healthcare to the forefront.
