Prime Video’s Dead Ringers is described as a modern take on Cronenberg’s cult classic movie.

“The series follows Elliot and Beverly Mantle, twin gynecologists 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,” reads the synopsis.
Dead Ringers is created, written, and executive produced by Alice Birch (Normal People), who is also set as the showrunner. Executive producers are Weisz, Stacy O’Neil, Sue Naegle, Sean Durkin, Ali Krug, Erica Kay, Anne Carey, Polly Stokes, James G. Robinson, David Robinson, and Barbara Wall.
