Writer and playwright Alice Birch -- whose credits include Normal People, Succession and The Wonder -- penned the series.

The Mummy and The Constant Gardener actress Weisz plays Elliot and Beverly 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," the streaming service said in a synopsis Tuesday.

All six episodes of the show are set to premiere April 21.

Britne Oldford, Poppy Liu, Michael Chernus, Jennifer Ehle and Emily Meade co-star.
