Elizabeth Banks Asks Fans: Who’s The Better Sister?

Elizabeth Banks took to Instagram over the weekend to shine a spotlight on her upcoming Prime Video thriller, The Better Sister. In a stylish snapshot alongside co-star Jessica Biel, Banks asked followers: “Who do YOU think is The Better Sister? 😘 @jessicabiel,” sending social media into a friendly frenzy.

Sibling Rivalry Takes Center Stage

In the image posted on May 8, the actresses stand back-to-back in coordinating metallic jackets, each channeling equal parts glamour and attitude. Banks’s caption—“Thanks to everyone watching! Who do YOU think is The Better Sister? 😘 @jessicabiel”—invited viewers to cast their vote ahead of the series premiere on May 29. Fans immediately flooded the comments, debating everything from wardrobe choices to on-screen chemistry.

Instagram previews have offered more clues about the plot’s combustible family drama. “This family’s about to experience the mother of all scandals,” Banks teased in an April 10 post, revealing her character, Nicky, at the center of a whodunit unfolding over eight episodes. A later sneak peek promised an emotional reunion between estranged siblings, with Banks and Biel on the cover of Emmy Magazine’s May issue.

From Pitch Perfect To Prime Video Whodunit

Since bursting onto the scene in 2005, Elizabeth Banks has built a versatile career as an actress and filmmaker. Born Elizabeth Irene Mitchell on February 10, 1974, she earned acclaim for roles in The Hunger Games franchise and the Pitch Perfect films, before making her directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2. Her Prime Video series marks Banks’s first foray into long-form television drama.

Jessica Biel—known for 7th Heaven and more recently for producing the dark comedy Candy—joins Banks as the rival sister whose reunion ignites a chain of suspenseful events. Together, they navigate secrets that were buried long ago, all while vying for viewers’ sympathy.

Behind The Scenes Moments

Banks has been generous with behind-the-scenes glimpses on her Instagram feed. On May 1, she shared footage from Prime Video’s press day, praising her collaborators and hinting at high-stakes twists. “These women took this whodunit story from page to screen and it’s a wild ride from start to finish,” she told Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, encouraging fans to watch the full conversation via the link in her bio.

Elsewhere, an earlier post highlighted Banks’s role as co-owner of Archer Roose Wines and her inclusion on Adweek’s list of 2025’s most influential creators. But it’s her performance as Nicky that’s capturing the spotlight now—especially as social media anticipation builds.

With less than a week until launch, Banks’s Instagram question continues to echo: Who really is the superior sibling? Whether viewers side with the sharp wit of Nicky or Biel’s character, the answer lands when The Better Sister debuts on Prime Video on May 29.
