‘Dead Ringers’ Stars Jennifer Ehle and Emily Meade On Their Characters’ Complicated Relationship [Watch]

Dead Ringers Emily Meade Jennifer Ehle

In Alice Birch’s series adaptation of David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers, she imbues the tale with way more feminine energy, most notably with the gender-swapped Mantle Twins. But, she also brings in a slew of complicated and messy female characters, including the troubled yet absurdly wealthy couple of Rebecca and Emily.

In the series, Jennifer Ehle plays the coolly cruel pharmaceutical executive Rebecca who’s considering funding the Mantle twins’ birthing center. Opposite Ehle is Meade as Rebecca’s effervescent wife Susan who seems to be just another pawn in Rebecca’s twisted agenda. Yet she still struggles for some semblance of agency.

Dread Central spoke with Ehle and Meade about how they developed their on-screen relationship, the incredible work of the show’s production designers, and more.

Dead Ringers comes to Prime Video on Friday, April 21.
