It’s one of the most anticipated series of 2024 and its explosive trailer promises sparks. Discover the new Mr and Mrs Smith in the series adapted from the film with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. And the new duo has nothing to envy them.
The year 2024 looks promising in terms of series. Among the most anticipated new fictions, we find the adaptation of the film Mr and Mrs. Smith by Doug Liman, itself already inspired by the eponymous 1996 television series starring Scott Bakula and Maria Bello.
The circle comes full circle with this new iteration of the adventures of this famous couple of hitmen. Forget Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the new Mr & Mrs Smith are Donald Glover (Community, Solo: A Star Wars Story) – or Childish Gambino for music fans – and Maya Erskine (PEN15, Obi-Wan Kenobi).
The latter replaced Phoebe Waller-Bridge at short notice, who left the production of the series due to artistic differences. The new duo, which has everything to be as iconic as its predecessors, portrays two solitary strangers recruited by a mysterious agency which offers them a radiant life made up of espionage, wealth, travel around the world and a plush apartment in Manhattan.
The trap ? A marriage arranged under the false identities of Mr. & Mrs. John and Jane Smith. Now husband and wife, the two secret agents must successfully complete high-risk missions every week as their relationship takes new steps.
Keeping their identities a secret and carrying out their contracts are already tricky missions, so when real feelings develop between them, that’s the moment where everything can explode. Which will be riskier, espionage or marriage?
Prime Video has unveiled a very enticing first trailer for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, who promises a clever mix of action, romance and humor for a very promising duo but also a host of impressive guests.
These include Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, John Turturro, Parker Posey, Wagner Moura, Michaela Coel, Alexander Skarsgård, Eiza González, Sharon Horgan, Ron Perlman and Billy Campbell.
The Mr & Mrs Smith series will be available on Prime Video on February 2.
