Filming began in the summer of 2022. On May 14, 2024, Amazon Prime Video renewed the series for a second season, with Sloane returning as showrunner. However, whether Glover and Erskine are returning or not is unclear.
The road to the small screen has been a rough one for Prime Video's reboot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. First announced in early 2021, the series adaptation of the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie blockbuster endured a major recasting (Out: Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge; In: PEN15's Maya Erskine) and then a subsequent two-year delay.
& Mrs. Smith,” a new limited series on Prime Video starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, is one of those projects that requires creative use of the word “remake.” It's not that, exactly. But it's not entirely not not that, either.
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith” has been renewed for Season 2 at Amazon Prime Video. However, sources say that Season 1 stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are not expected to return to star in Season 2.
There's a new Smith couple in town. Prime Video's new show "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" puts a twist on the 2005 film of the same name by changing up how the couple at the center of the show first got together.

Is Johnny Depp in Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
Johnny Depp was originally cast as John Smith, but turned it down after being overworked with other movies he was shooting. Brad Pitt reportedly left the project after Nicole Kidman dropped out and her replacement had not yet been found. Once Angelina Jolie signed on, he returned to the project.
Several dramatic explosions throughout. A discussion takes place in which Pitt asks Jolie "How many?" He says he doesn't keep count, but between 50-60. Jolie answers 312. It is implied that they mean assassination targets, but is never clarified.
In the end, Glover's John is presumed mortally wounded in the house's panic room, and Erskine's Jane, with one bullet left in her gun, heads out to take down Posey. From the exterior, we hear three gunshots, meaning someone else also shot a gun, but we have no idea who was hit.
This is also when Jane strips her last guard down by telling him that her real name is Alana, to which John replies that he prefers Jane, the woman he's grown to love. Ultimately, the two of them are the closest they've ever been, but that doesn't mean they end up together.
THIS version of Mr. & Mrs. Smith is NOT your chic sexy Angelina & Brad, BUT this version is UNIQUE and fun and Maya Erskine as JANE SMITH is fantastic & hilarious. The couple's imperfectionists and clunkiness make them relatable and very likeable.
What happened at the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith 2024?
Ultimately, the couple manage to fail three missions for their mysterious employer, resulting in John's termination from the job, and a semi-related break up. This leads us to the eighth and final episode of the season, appropriately titled “A Breakup” which follows a similar plot to the 2005 Mr. & Mrs. Smith film.
The best TV spin-offs are often those based on films that were nothing special – just look at 'Mr & Mrs Smith' Nobody could ever accuse the 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith of being a flop. On the contrary, it made back more than four times its $110m budget and was the year's seventh highest-grossing movie.
Why didn t they make a sequel to Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
The screenwriter of Mr. & Mrs. Smith explains why a sequel to the movie never happened. Despite the film's success and the stars' real-life romance, a sequel wouldn't have the same love story element as the original.
What are people saying about the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
THIS version of Mr. & Mrs. Smith is NOT your chic sexy Angelina & Brad, BUT this version is UNIQUE and fun and Maya Erskine as JANE SMITH is fantastic & hilarious. The couple's imperfectionists and clunkiness make them relatable and very likeable.
For their “First Vacation” in episode three the spy duo heads to the snow-whipped slopes of the Italian Dolomites, where married couple Gavol and Parker are the subject of their mission. Filming took place in the small resort town of Colfosco, South Tyrol, part of the gondola-served Alta Badia ski area.
Donald Glover is the new Brad Pitt, at least when it comes to Prime Video's eight-episode “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” series. Glover stars in and co-created the reimagining of Pitt's 2005 action-comedy, which famously paired the A-list actor with Angelina Jolie.
Eventually, John injects Jane and himself with truth serum, and we finally get more heart-to-heart honesty than the therapist (Sarah Paulson) managed earlier on in the series.
In the finale, they returned, and it turned out that super high risk is a very specific type of job – it means they are tasked solely with taking out other Smiths. It was at this point that they attempted to kill our Jane and John, but they managed to escape, with Jane seemingly blinding the super high risk John.
Although the story of a married couple of secret agents sounds entirely fabricated and pulled right from fiction, Mr. & Mrs. Smith screenwriter Simon Kinberg drew inspiration from a very personal source for the story.
Glover and Waller-Bridge were originally cast in the respective roles that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie played, only for Waller-Bridge to suddenly exit in 2021. For Donald Glover, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's exit from “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” felt like “a divorce.”
New York and Italy filming locations for the Amazon series. The newest adaptation of Mr & Mrs Smith landed on Prime Video last month and viewers were left enthralled by the lavish onscreen locations behind the spy story.
Internal Reveal: Both of them find out the other's identity when they are assigned to take out the same target, but neither knows that the other knows. John deliberately drops a wine bottle as a test, which Jane passes (or fails depending on your perspective) when she catches it.
& Mrs. Smith is a spy series that's loosely inspired by the 2005 blockbuster movie of the same name. In this version, two spies have to live and work together as husband and wife. It contains strong sexual content, violence, and cursing.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is one of those completely implausible, yet completely fun action-comedy romps that can be watched over and over again without boredom. The chemistry between Pitt and Jolie is (obviously) great, which makes the movie a special treat for the viewer.
