LOS ANGELES, March 27, 2025 — Prime Video has announced the premiere date for its upcoming limited drama series, ‘The Better Sister,’ which stars Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks. All eight episodes are set to launch on May 29, 2025, in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

The series, based on Alafair Burke’s novel of the same name, revolves around the tumultuous relationship between two sisters. Chloe, portrayed by Biel, is a successful media executive who leads a seemingly perfect life with her husband Adam (Corey Stoll) and teenage son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan). In stark contrast, her estranged sister Nicky (Banks) battles personal struggles, including financial stability and sobriety.

The plot thickens when Adam is brutally murdered, making him the prime suspect in a shocking twist that draws the sisters back together. As they confront their complicated family history, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind his death.

“’The Better Sister’ tells a gripping story about family dynamics and the ties that bind,” said a representative from Prime Video. The limited series promises to explore deep emotional themes while intertwining elements of crime and mystery.

In addition to Biel, Banks, Stoll, and Donovan, the cast includes Kim Dickens, Bobby Naderi, Gabriel Sloyer, Gloria Reuben, Matthew Modine, and Lorraine Toussaint. The series is directed by Craig Gillespie, known for his work on ‘Pam & Tommy,’ and produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Tomorrow Studios.

Executive producers include Olivia Milch, Regina Corrado, and several other notable industry figures. The anticipation surrounding ‘The Better Sister’ is building, with fans eager to see the first-look images released by Prime Video. One striking image features Chloe looking into a mirror with Nicky positioned behind her, hinting at the emotional and physical closeness that has been strained over the years.

‘The Better Sister’ will be available for streaming on Prime Video starting May 29, 2025, offering viewers a compelling narrative of sisterhood, betrayal, and redemption.
