Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie starrer Mr & Mrs Smith is coming back in the form of a web series with Donald Glover and Maya Erskine in the lead. The series was announced in 2021, and a date for its release has now been finally sealed, and the trailer has been dropped. Here’s everything we know about the series adaptation of one of the most iconic action comedies.
The film was released in 2005 and became one of the turning points in Brad and Angelina’s lives as they fell in love while making this movie, and the rest is history. Doug Liman directed it and went on to do a business of $487.2 million at the worldwide box office.
Mr & Mrs Smith will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video next year, and it was announced way back in 2021. Initially, comedian and Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge was roped in to star opposite Donald Glover, but the actress left the project owing to creative differences. In April 2022, Maya Erskine was roped in for the lead role.
