With less than a month to go until Francesca Sloane & Donald Glover's series take on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's 2005 film hits Prime Video screens, we're getting a fresh look at the upcoming Glover & Maya Erskine (PEN15)-starring Mr. & Mrs. Smith. After giving viewers a chance to get up close & personal with The Smiths (more on that in a minute), we've got an official trailer to pass along that demonstrates the mix of romance, action, drama & humor that we were hoping we would get. With Sloane also serving as showrunner – the Prime Video series features a killer lineup of guest stars: Alexander Skarsgård, Eiza González, Sarah Paulson, Sharon Horgan, Ron Perlman, Billy Campbell, Úrsula Corberó, Paul Dano, Michaela Coel, John Turturro, Parker Posey, and Wagner Moura.
With the eight-episode streaming series binge-dropping on February 2, 2024, here's a look behind the scenes of the Prime Video series, followed by the official series overview for Mr. & Mrs. Smith:
Two lonely strangers land a job working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travels and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. The catch: new identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. & Mrs. John and Jane Smith. Now hitched, John and Jane navigate a high risk mission every week while also facing a new relationship milestone. Their complex cover story becomes even more complicated when they catch real feelings for each other. What's riskier, espionage or marriage?
September 2021 brought the news that Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) had exited the series over a "different creative vision" than Glover's, though the split was described as "amicable" and that the two reportedly still "remain friends." It wouldn't be until April 2022 when we would learn from Glover during an interview with Interview that Erskine had joined the project as his new co-star and that he was "writing the finale now." Stemming from Amazon Studios and co-created by Glover & Showrunner Francesca Sloane (Atlanta, Fargo), the series is executive produced by Glover, Sloane, and New Regency's Yariv Milchan & Michael Schaefer.
