Amazon Studios has pushed the premiere date for Mr. and Mrs. Smith to early 2024, from its originally scheduled November window. It is the latest premiere date to be pushed due to the dual Hollywood strikes. It is now Day 136 of the WGA strike and Day 63 of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Mr. and Mrs. Smith will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

From co-creators and executive producers Donald Glover (Swarm, Atlanta) and Francesca Sloane (Atlanta, Fargo), the series is a reimagining of New Regency’s 2005 Doug Liman-directed action comedy film that starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The movie followed a bored married couple who are surprised to learn that they both are assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other. In the Prime Video series, Glover stars as John Smith and Maya Erskine (PEN15) as Jane Smith.
The logline: Meet the Smiths: Two strangers, John and Jane, who have given up their identities to be thrown together as partners—in espionage and in marriage. Matched by a mysterious agency, each episode follows them on a new mission and new milestone in their relationship. When the cracks begin to show through, they must fight to stay together. Because in this marriage, divorce is not an option.
In addition to starring, Glover is co-creator and exec producer on the series under his overall deal with Amazon Studios. Francesca Sloane is co-creator, executive producer and showrunner. New Regency’s Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer also executive produce. Amazon Studios is the studio.
