Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge Set to Star in MR. & MRS. SMITH Series at Amazon
Donald Glover (Solo) has announced on a series of Instagram stories that he is set to star in a Mr. & Mrs. Smith series adaptation alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) for Amazon Prime. New Regency is producing the project, which was co-created by Francesca Sloane.
The show is said to be “a new take and iteration” on the 2005 film, which starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a “couple in a stagnating marriage, live a deceptively mundane existence. However, each has been hiding a secret from the other: they are assassins working for adversarial agencies. When they are both assigned to kill the same target the truth comes to the surface. Finally free from their cover stories, they discover that they have been assigned to kill each other, sparking a series of explosive attacks.”
The movie was actually pretty good, and it’ll be fun to see this new take on the story with Glover and Waller-Bridge in the lead roles. The project will be released in 2022.
