Rueben's Ramblings

On February 2, the small screen adaptation of Mr. and Mrs. Smith will debut online on Amazon Prime as an 8-episode drama series.

In this reimagining of the 2005 film, the series stars Donald Glover as John Smith and Maya Erskine as Jane Smith. In this version, two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travels, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. The catch? New identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. and 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?

Episodes will feature Paul Dano, Michaela Coel, Eiza Gonzalez, Parker Posey, Sarah Paulson, Ron Perlman, Alexander Skarsgard, John Turturro, Billy Campbell and Sharon Horgan.
