The plot of ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’
Created by Francesca Sloan and Donald Glover, the series lands on Prime Video, drawing inspiration from the 2005 hit movie of the same name starring the iconic duo, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
While the original film saw the real-life romance of its stars bloom and then tumultuously end, much like their on-screen characters – a charming pair of spies who find themselves at odds both professionally and personally upon discovering each other’s true identities. The series takes this premise and spins it anew. Here, the marriage is a facade, used as a cover for their espionage activities, weaving a tale of spy intrigue, comedy, and action as they juggle professional scenarios with the amusing challenges of their ‘personal’ status as a married couple.
