Prime Video is set to elevate its entertainment offerings with the launch of the highly anticipated series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Scheduled to premiere on February 2, 2024, the series is a fresh take on the 2005 film of the same name, and it promises to bring an intriguing blend of espionage, romance, and drama.
Series Overview
Mr. & Mrs. Smith follows the story of two strangers who find themselves embroiled in the world of espionage. The series offers a unique twist: the protagonists, John and Jane Smith, are forced to marry as part of their cover. Portraying these complex characters are Donald Glover, known for his work on Swarm and Atlanta, and Maya Erskine of PEN15 fame. John Smith’s relationship with Jane Smith is the primary narrative factor, and their dynamic will drive the story more than the action that takes place.
‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Creative Team
The series boasts an impressive creative team. Created by Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane, the show benefits from their vast experience and successful track records. Glover’s work on projects like Atlanta has been critically acclaimed, while Sloane’s contributions to Atlanta and Fargo have established her as a prominent figure in the industry. Their collaboration on Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a promising sign of the series’ quality and creative storytelling.
Maya Erskine of ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’
Glover and Erskine are not new to the acting scene, either. Though most recently known for Atlanta, Glover spent many years on the comedy show Community, harnessing his stand-up skills on the small screen. Meanwhile, Erskine’s show PEN15 is laugh-out-loud funny. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is slated to be more aligned with the drama and action genres, but excellent comedic timing from the stars could make an appearance.
Visual Teasers
In anticipation of the series premiere, Prime Video has released images from the show, offering a glimpse into the world of Mr. & Mrs. Smith while showcasing the production’s high quality and the compelling visual style that viewers can expect. The images hint at dark and moody cinematography, leaving a sense of the emotionally charged feeling the filming might bring.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is streaming soon on Prime Video.
