Former Solo: A Star Wars Story co-stars Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be putting a new spin on Mr. and Mrs. Smith for Amazon Prime Video!
The new series, which is based on the 2005 New Regency film of the same name, will premiere in 2022.
Glover who will star and executive produce the series with Waller-Bridge made the announcement via social media, posting a video to Instagram Stories with details of the project. See it here.
The 2005 film from Doug Liman, starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, was a massive hit, grossing almost $500 million worldwide. Alfred Hitchcock also directed a screwball marriage comedy titled Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 1941, starring Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard.
The new take on Mr and Mrs. Smith is neither Glover nor Waller-Bridge’s first project with Amazon. The Emmy award winning creators each have had projects with the studio - Waller-Bridge with her hit series Fleabag which earned six Emmys including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2019 and Glover’s musical film Guava Island starring Rihanna and himself.
