Prime Video has set a premiere date for the highly anticipated series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. Based on the 2005 movie featuring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the series is a blend of romantic comedy and thriller elements. Scheduled to debut on February 2, 2024, this eight-episode venture follows two strangers recruited by a spy agency who find themselves in an obligatory arranged marriage. The show promises action, drama, and comedic elements, with a talented cast that may include appearances by Michaela Coel, Paul Dano, and John Turturro.

The series was initially slated for a 2022 release but faced delays due to industry-wide strikes. However, with those issues resolved, Prime Video has released promotional stills and teased short clips in anticipation of the upcoming release. Fans can expect a full trailer release soon as the premiere date approaches. Once launched, all eight episodes will be available for streaming exclusively on Prime Video. For those wishing to revisit the original "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," the 2005 film is available through Starz subscriptions or for rent on platforms like YouTube and Amazon Prime.

Gamers and fans of the actors involved are eagerly waiting for the release of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" to see how this fresh take reinterprets the classic storyline into a streaming series format.
