Amazon Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith is returning for Season 2.
The streamer shared first details about the series’ renewal today, setting a course to bring Donald Glover (Atlanta, Swarm) and Maya Erskine’s (PEN15) spy show back for more following its debut in February. Story details and a release date were not revealed, but Variety reports Glover and Erskine are not expected to return.
“We are excited to announce that a second season of our groundbreaking spy series, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, is in the works for our global Prime Video customers,” Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke said in a statement. “The success of the first season, with its incredibly modern, sexy reinvention of the original film, is a testament to the brilliant creators Donald Glover and Francesa Sloane. We are proud to bring you another season filled with unforgettable journeys and new adventures.”
Amazon says that Mr. and Mrs. Smith Season 1 managed to land as a top five series debut on Prime Video. Its eight-episode run follows John and Jane Smith, two spies leading exciting lives that test their bond as partners and secret agents.
This series reimagining of the 2005 film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was co-created by Glover and Francesca Sloane (Atlanta, Fargo). Sloane returns as showrunner for Season 2.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith proved popular on Prime Video, and we enjoyed it, too. In IGN's 9/10 review of Season 1, we said: “Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a great spy show and an even better relationship comedy.” For more, you can check out some of the other biggest TV shows coming in 2024.
