If you weren’t excited about Amazon Prime Video‘s Mr & Mrs Smith series before, then the first official trailer, with the charms/chemistry of both Donald Glover (AKA Childish Gambino) and Maya Erskine on full display, might change your mind.
In this adaptation of the 2005 film with real-life divorced couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious new life — espionage, wealth, world travels, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan.

The only catch? Acquiescing to an arranged marriage as John (Glover) and Jane (Erskine) Smith. Now hitched, the titular newlyweds are forced to navigate a high-risk mission just about every week, while also facing new relationship milestones.
As per the official synopsis: “Their complex cover story becomes even more complicated when they catch real feelings for each other. What’s riskier: espionage or marriage?”
Glover and Erskine — the latter of whom replaces Phoebe Waller-Bridge after she amicably exited due to “creative differences” — are joined onscreen by Parker Posey, Wagner Moura, Michaela Coel, John Turturro, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, Alexander Skarsgård, and plenty more.
