Mr. & Mrs. Smith is adding star power to the Prime Video series, starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as two lonely strangers who land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travels, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. The extended cast for this series is positively absurd, so hang onto your hat as we list a murders’ row of talent joining the show.
Alexander Skarsgård, Eiza González, Sarah Paulson, Sharon Horgan, Ron Perlman, Billy Campbell, and Úrsula Corberó pop onto the action-tinged thriller, with Paul Dano, Michaela Coel, John Turturro, Parker Posey, and Wagner Moura. I told you it was absurd. Donald and Erskine already had me tuning in, but now I’m even more excited to join the stealthy couple for some gunplay and bedroom gymnastics.
All eight episodes will be available exclusively on Prime Video on February 2, 2024, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. 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.
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?
You have to think that with so many incredible actors joining the cast, some of them will play enemy agents. I could picture Perlman as a seasoned assassin, a master of deception with a taste for blood. Unfortunately, extended cast roles are under wraps, so we’ll need to wait and see how each actor fits into the story. Are you looking forward to Prime Video’s adaptation of Mr. & Mrs. Smith?
