Production

On February 12, 2021, it was announced that a TV series reboot based on the original film, created by and starring Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Francesca Sloane as co-creator and showrunner, would premiere on Prime Video in 2022.[1] The original film was directed by Doug Liman and starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.[2] Waller-Bridge exited the project in September 2021 due to creative differences with Glover.[2] On April 7, 2022, it was reported that Maya Erskine would take over Waller-Bridge's role.[3]

On June 29, 2022, it was reported that Michaela Coel, John Turturro, and Paul Dano would appear in guest star roles.[4] On September 22, 2022, it was reported that Parker Posey and Wagner Moura had joined the cast in recurring roles.[5]

In addition to Glover and Sloane, the series was executive produced by Yariv Milchan, Arnon Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Stephen Glover, Anthony Katagas, Hiro Murai, Nate Matteson, and Jenny Robins.[1][5]

Filming began in the summer of 2022.[6]

Release

On September 23, 2022, it was reported that the release date for the series had been pushed back from 2022 to 2023.[7]

Amidst the 2023 Hollywood strikes, Amazon delayed the release from 2023 to "early 2024".[8] All eight episodes of the series were released on February 2, 2024, on Prime Video.[9][10]

Marketing

A series of guerrilla marketing stunts were used to promote the series. On January 19, 2024, a pair of shoes were stolen at an art exhibit after the lights went out. On January 24, two furries sat next to Tyra Banks at a basketball game. On January 25, a comedy show featuring Mark Normand was interrupted when two unknown people rushed the stage. Social media posts about these events had advertisement disclaimers but did not specify the product being advertised. Gothamist found that marketing firm Verb had put out casting calls for the "HiHi Mission Contest" that would take place at a "culture event in New York City".[11] The comedy show was a taping by HiHi, according to the comedy club, that influencers had been invited to.[12]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 89% approval rating, with an average rating of 7.6/10, based on 101 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Building on the basic premise of its source material, Mr. & Mrs. Smith anchors its spy hijinks in a relationship drama fueled by the chemistry between its charming leads."[13] On Metacritic, the series holds a weighted average score of 76 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[14]

On February 9, 2024, it was announced the series is one of the Amazon's Top 5 New Series debuts ever in terms of total viewers.[15]
