When will Mr & Mrs Smith premiere on Prime?
Good news for fans!! An official date of Mr & Mrs Smith’s release has been announced! Mr & Mrs Smith will make its Prime Video debut on Friday, February 2, 2024. Originally scheduled to debut in November 2023, the series was delayed to avoid labor disputes with the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild of America. But with that resolved, the series is ready to make its small-screen debut.
Unlike some other Prime Video originals, all eight episodes of Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 1 will be released all at once as a binge-worthy box set, as opposed to every week.
What will it be about?
The show is an adaptation of the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie-starring action movie from 2005. Before that, there had been a brief TV series called Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 1996 and an unsuccessful pilot series called Pilot Series in 2007 that was intended to come after the first movie. The upcoming series’ storyline appears to be different from that of the movie.
According to reports, it centers on two agents who work for the same spy agency and decide to wed under the aliases, John and Jane Smith. Each episode features a different mission.
The official synopsis reads:
Two lonely strangers land a job 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. & Mrs. John and Jane Smith. Now hitched, John and Jane navigate a high-risk mission every week while also facing a new relationship milestone. Their complex cover story becomes even more complicated when they catch real feelings for each other. What’s riskier, espionage or marriage?
