The ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ Remake, Gets Delayed For 2024 Following Unknown Reasons

1 years ago By Neil Ross

Exciting news for fans of the iconic 2005 film ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ – the highly anticipated TV show adaptation featuring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine has been delayed until early 2024. While the reasons for the delay remain undisclosed, this article will provide you with all the details about this thrilling remake, the changes in the storyline, and the challenges faced during its development.

A New Killer Couple

Prime Video had initially slated the release of ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ for November, but recently announced a shift to an early 2024 premiere. To add to the excitement, Prime Video unveiled the first-look photo of Donald Glover and Maya Erskine in their roles as John Smith and Jane Smith, the titular killer couple.

A Unique Twist on a Classic

This reimagining of the 2005 film is co-created and executive produced by Donald Glover, known for his work in ‘Atlanta,’ and Francesca Sloane, renowned for her contributions to ‘Atlanta’ and ‘Fargo.’ While the premise of the series draws inspiration from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s characters in the original film, there are intriguing deviations in the storyline.

In the film, the plot revolved around two married assassins tasked with eliminating each other after discovering their espionage roles. However, the TV series takes a different approach. John and Jane are not a married couple but are instead two strangers brought together by a mysterious agency for espionage and a pretend marriage. Each episode follows their unique missions and the evolution of their relationship. When challenges arise, they must fight to stay together, as divorce is not an option in this unconventional marriage.

Casting Changes and Creative Collaborations

The TV adaptation experienced some shifts in casting and creative collaborations. Initially, Phoebe Waller-Bridge was set to co-create and star in the series alongside Donald Glover. However, in 2021, Waller-Bridge decided to step away from the project due to creative differences. Maya Erskine, known for her role in ‘PEN15,’ stepped in to fill the void.

Waller-Bridge’s exit from the project brought challenges but also paved the way for fresh perspectives and creativity in the series. As Glover mentioned, Erskine’s involvement added excitement to the project, promising a unique and engaging viewing experience.

The Delay and Speculations

The delay of ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ coincides with ongoing writers and actors strikes, which have disrupted many productions. While the exact reasons behind the delay remain undisclosed, it’s reasonable to assume that these strikes may have influenced the decision. Ensuring the availability of key stars like Donald Glover and Maya Erskine for promotional activities could be a contributing factor.

Final Thoughts

As we eagerly await the arrival of ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ in early 2024, the anticipation continues to build. With a fresh take on a beloved story, a stellar cast, and the promise of engaging espionage and relationship dynamics, this TV series adaptation is set to captivate audiences. Despite challenges along the way, including casting changes and delays, the creative vision remains intact, ensuring that viewers will be in for a thrilling ride when the show finally premieres.
