The title ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ that brought Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together has brought Donald Glover and Maya Erskine together in a series with the same name.
The show has become the talk of town and everyone keeps on wondering whether the show will be renewed for the second season. Well, the reviews have been positive, with one calling it an ‘honest look at marriage through the fantastic lens of spies’. So let’s find out about the renewal of the show:
Mr and Mrs Smith: What is the series about?
The official plot synopsis for the TV series is as follows Mr. & Mrs. Smith, two lonely strangers who 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. Through these new identities, the couple navigates a high-risk mission every week.
Their complex cover story becomes even more complicated when they catch real feelings for each other. So what’s riskier: espionage or marriage?
Is the series different from the original movie?
So yes, the series is indeed different from the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie original starrer.
In the series, the titular couple married for the purposes of their mission, whereas Pitt and Jolie’s characters were married and both were unaware that their partner was a spy.
Cast
Alongside Maya Erskine and Donald Glover, the series includes Sarah Paulson, Sharon Horgan, Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Dano, Eiza González, John Turturro, and Ron Perlman.
Will there be a season 2?
Well, we know that the series has not yet been officially renewed for a second outing. However, the show’s co-creator Francesca Sloane has already expressed that she’d love to do a second season but has remained neutral on whether that might be happening.
Season 1 of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ is streaming on Amazon Prime Video
