PRIME VIDEO's MR. & MRS. SMITH
  • Production has started today in Los Angeles County on the drama's upcoming second season. Season 1 stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are returning, with Erskine joining Glover as an executive producer for Season 2. As previously reported, Anora's Mark Eydelshteyn will portray a new lead role. Moreover, Talia Ryder (Never Rarely Sometimes Always) has joined the cast in the role previously designated for Yellowjackets star Sophie Thatcher.
  • No details were immediately announced about the characters or plot for the second season. Glover and Erskine are expected to be reprising their roles as John and Jane Smith.
