Today, Prime Video announced the premiere date for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the highly-anticipated action series starring Donald Glover (Atlanta, Community, Solo: A Star Wars Movie) and Maya Erskine (PEN 15, DC League of Super-Pets, Wine Country) as the lethal couple. All eight episodes will be available exclusively on Prime Video on February 2, 2024, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. In addition to announcing the Mr. & Mrs. Smith premiere date, Prime Video debuted a gallery of new images from the upcoming series.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith hails from co-creators and executive producers Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane (Atlanta, Fargo). The series, a reimagining of the 2005 film, stars Glover as John Smith and Maya Erskine as Jane Smith.
Here’s the official description of Mr. & Mrs. Smith courtesy of Prime Video:
In this version of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travel, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. The catch? New identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith. Now hitched, John and Jane navigate a high-risk mission every week while 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?
The 2005 film, which was directed by Doug Liman and penned by Simon Kinberg, starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a bored upper-middle-class married couple who were assassins belonging to competing agencies who had been assigned to kill each other. Mr & Mrs. Smith was a major box-office success at the time and was even the start of the real-life relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Much like Donald Glover, who played Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Maya Erskine is also a member of the Star Wars family. She appears in Obi-Wan Kenobi as Sully Stark, a human dissident of an underground movement that helped smuggle surviving Jedi to safety.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is nearly ready to give action fans a shot in the arm early next year on February 2, 2024. Will you tune in for Glover and Erskine’s action-packed showcase? Let us know in the comments below.
